About Rose Milkshake
Rose milkshake is an easy-to-make milkshake that has a beautiful pink color and a unique floral taste due to the addition of rose syrup and rose extract. It can be enjoyed as a dessert drink, after-meal drink, breakfast, brunch, or anytime you are craving something sweet and refreshing. This milkshake can also be served at parties or gatherings.
You can also call it an upgraded version of Indian rose milk, which is an Indian-flavored drink where you combine rose syrup with chilled milk and serve it over ice cubes. This gorgeous milkshake has the rich, creamy goodness of vanilla ice cream with the sweet taste and fragrance of rose syrup and rose extract.
This quick and simple milkshake recipe only takes 2 minutes to prepare. For making a rose milkshake, you blend the rose syrup with chilled milk, vanilla ice cream, and rose petals until smooth. The addition of edible dried rose petals makes it extra elegant.
Once it is done, it is served over a scoop of vanilla ice cream. For an elegant presentation, I garnish it with sliced pistachios, a drizzle of rose syrup, and dried rose petals to make it extra special.
Try this once, and it will become your favorite flavored milkshake.

Ingredients
-
Rose Syrup: It is the star ingredient of this milkshake recipe, adding a sweet, floral taste and a beautiful color. I have used homemade rose syrup in this recipe, but you can also use store-bought rose syrup, which will work perfectly fine.
-
Milk: I have used low-fat milk for this milkshake, but you can also use full-fat milk for a creamier texture. For a vegan version, you can choose dairy-free milk alternatives such as unsweetened almond milk, coconut milk, or soy milk.
-
Vanilla Ice Cream: It is the base of this milkshake, adding thickness and making it chilled while providing a creamy and sweet flavor.
-
Edible Dried Rose Petals: I added some crushed edible dried rose petals to the milkshake while blending to enhance the flavor. I also used some crushed dried rose petals for decoration. Decorating with dried rose petals is optional, but adding them to the milkshake is highly recommended.
-
Rose Extract (optional): It intensifies the rose flavor and gives the milkshake a strong and pleasant aroma. However, adding rose extract is optional.
-
Pistachios (optional): These add a nice crunchy texture and nutty flavor to the milkshake.
Variations
Chocolate Rose Milkshake
For a chocolaty touch, add 2-3 tablespoons of finely chopped white or milk chocolate to the blender while blending the milkshake. Instead of real chocolate, you can also use a tablespoon of chocolate syrup for a rich, chocolaty flavor.
Almond Rose Milkshake
For this version, swap vanilla ice cream with almond ice cream and replace regular milk with almond milk. Also, add 2-3 tablespoons of chopped almonds for a nutty twist and almond extract.
Coconut Rose Milkshake
Coconut and rose go well together. For this version, swap milk with coconut milk and vanilla ice cream with coconut ice cream. For intense coconut flavor, add 1-2 tablespoons of coconut flakes to the blender while blending the milkshake.
Vegan Rose Milkshake
If you follow a vegan diet, you can make a vegan version of this milkshake by substituting regular vanilla ice cream with a plant-based alternative. Also, replace regular milk with any dairy-free milk alternative.
Serving Suggestions
You can enjoy it as a breakfast, brunch, or an after-meal cooling drink. Serve it alone or with a snack of your choice. If you are planning to serve it at a brunch party, feel free to pair it with other snacks, milkshakes, and smoothies.
For the best taste, it is advised to serve it chilled right after blending. To serve it as a café-style drink, I used tall glasses and poured the milkshake over a scoop of ice cream. Then I topped it with a drizzle of rose syrup, a sprinkle of edible dried rose petals, and a handful of chopped pistachios. For extra indulgence, you can top it with a dollop of whipped cream.
Storage Suggestions
This milkshake is best when enjoyed fresh. If you have any leftovers, store them in an airtight pitcher in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. When you want to drink it, give it a quick stir to restore its creamy texture.
