Ingredients
  

1 cup vanilla ice cream

1/2 cup whole milk

1/2 cup purple grape soda (for that signature Grimace flavor)

1/4 cup whipped cream

2 tablespoons grape jelly

Purple food coloring (optional, for a more vibrant look)

Purple sprinkles (for garnish)

Maraschino cherries (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Blend the Base: In a blender, combine the vanilla ice cream, whole milk, grape soda, and grape jelly. If you want a deeper purple hue, add a drop or two of purple food coloring. Blend until smooth and creamy.

    Chill the Glasses: While blending, place your serving glasses in the freezer for about 5 minutes to chill them, ensuring that your shake remains frosty.

      Prep for Toppings: Once the shake is blended to your desired consistency, remove the glasses from the freezer. Top each with a generous swirl of whipped cream, then sprinkle purple sprinkles on top for a fun finish.

        Pour and Serve: Carefully pour the creamy shake into the chilled glasses, taking care not to disturb the toppings too much.

          Garnish and Enjoy: Add a maraschino cherry on top of the whipped cream. Serve immediately with a colorful straw and bask in the delightful, creamy indulgence!
