Inspired by the purple character, the Grimace Shake features a blueberry flavoured syrup blended with a creamy milkshake base - the perfect purple combination. The drink will be priced between £2.
69 and £2.99 for either a medium or large, respectively. As McDonald’s UK turns 50 this year, what better way to celebrate than to bring the Grimace Shake to restaurants nationwide.
