Beyond classic milk teas and fruity smoothies and slushies, popping boba pearls are showing up in delicious new drinks, like Shake Shack’s Mini Raspberry Popping Boba Lemonades. This limited-time summer menu features a scaled-down version of popping boba stirred into beverages like the chain’s signature Shack-made Lemonade or seasonal lemonades such as Cherry Limeade, Mango Passionade or Strawberry Lemonade.
Consumers are after sensorial drinking experiences, and bold beverages that engage multiple senses with unexpected textures, colors and fun flavor combinations. As seen in Shake Shack’s new Mini Raspberry Popping Boba Lemonades, even lemonade has evolved to meet this demand with forms that balance sweet, tart, and chewy elements for a more immersive, playful sip.
