In-N-Out's Pink Lemonade Tastes Better When You Add The Chain's Vanilla Shake

Iconic fast food chain, In-N-Out, boasts a fairly simplified menu of burgers, fries, and shakes. Many customers have taken to seeking out its "Not So Secret Menu," which includes upgrades like "Animal Style" for its fries and burgers, protein-style lettuce wraps, and much more. Beyond the basics of these official customizations, there are plenty of fan-favorite orders that have taken the internet by storm. Tasting Table's assessment of popular secret In-N-Out menu items revealed that pairing up its pink lemonade and a vanilla shake transforms the two into one unforgettable float.

Per Tasting Table's estimations, both the soft drink and dessert are delightful on their own, but become a dynamic duo of sweet and tart flavors and pleasing textures when combined. Rules for custom orders may vary depending on your In-N-Out location, so it's best to tread lightly whether dining in or going the drive-thru route. You can achieve the desirable dessert by ordering your preferred size of either one and adjusting the ratios on your own.

There are differing theories as to how much vanilla shake or pink lemonade to include, which will depend on your tastes. One Reddit user points out, "Want our secret lemonade flavored shake? Do vanilla with a splash of pink lemonade (Just a splash and you need to mix it with a straw or spoon) and it'll taste like a lemonade shake." They also remind fellow users that there is no real difference in flavor between lemonade and pink lemonade.

An In-N-Out customer shares on Reddit, "Pink lemonade float tastes like one of those orange&vanilla ice creams." The one-two punch of creaminess and citrus is definitely amazing on its own, but you can also match it up with other In-N-Out favorites. For example, this tasty treat would go well to cap off a meal of a Double-Double and fries.

If you want to go with a "Not So Secret Menu" item, try pairing your pink lemonade float with a grilled cheese sandwich. Ordering this gives you a bun topped with two slices of American cheese, In-N-Out's famed spread, lettuce, and tomato, with your choice to include onions or not. Similarly, you can skip the bun altogether and opt for a lettuce-wrapped burger instead.

Alternatively, you can always get an even more decadent dessert by ordering a secret menu shake that combines all the flavors. Ask for a Neapolitan shake that mixes chocolate, strawberry, and vanilla together, and then add your desired amount of pink lemonade. This may well become your new favorite secret menu offering. However you choose to enjoy your In-N-Out meal, remember that politeness goes a long way when ordering food, whether customized or not.
