Heading into this limited-time-only product, I knew three things about ligers:<\/p>\n
It\u2019s an unorthodox name for a novelty milkshake, but after you\u2019ve tried Arby\u2019s newfangled beverage it all makes sense. The Liger Shake isn\u2019t called that just because it looks like a pair of Cincinnati Bengals Zubaz workout pants in drinkable form – it truly is the harmonious synthesis of two distinct flavors that you\u2019d never expect to merge together so well.<\/p>\n
![\"Arby](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Arbys-Liger-Shake-3.jpg?resize=317%2C600\" "\\"Arby's")
<\/p>\n
The Liger Shake\u2019s hook is pretty straightforward. It\u2019s half orange cream – think, a ritzier version of that sherbet stuff we all ate in elementary school – and half Ghirardelli chocolate ice cream, with several rings of sludgier, in-house chocolate syrup tying everything together. Naturally, there\u2019s also a hearty dollop of whipped cream to top things off, which makes comparisons to the beverages sold at a certain ubiquitous coffee chain all but unavoidable. <\/p>\n
Unlike the Unicorn Frappuccino, however, this competing, swirl-centric offering from Arby\u2019s is a classic milkshake through and through. While I\u2019ve never been particularly fond of orange or chocolate-flavored shakes, combining the two makes for an unexpectedly satisfying combination. I guess the best thing to liken the Liger Shake to are Terry\u2019s Chocolate Orange products – you know, those aluminum foil wrapped delicacies on store shelves every Christmas – mixed with the traditional Wendy\u2019s Frosty.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
The shake has a very nice congealed consistency and the flavors mingle together quite well without either becoming too dominant. Somehow, someway, the fast food wizards at Arby\u2019s managed to keep the orange-to-chocolate flavor ratio at an even-keel, and the end product is certain to please chocoholics and citrus-holics alike.<\/p>\n
If I had to be a nitpicker, I\u2019d take a few points off for the whipped cream (it has a nice aesthetic, but it gets milky fast and muddles with the flavor a bit) and the perhaps too sludgy chocolate swirls, which have a texture and overall mouthfeel that just doesn\u2019t gel with the rest of the ingredients. That said, those minor flaws can easily be overlooked seeing how yummy the product taken as a whole is, and for less than three bucks, you simply can\u2019t complain about the volume you\u2019re getting here. <\/p>\n
And as a nice bonus, this is one of the few fast food shakes that seems impervious to freezer burn. My leftover Liger Shake tasted just as flavorful and filling after two nights in the freezer as it did fresh out of the drive-thru lane – an attribute we can only pin on the product\u2019s sturdy, crossbred genetics, perhaps? <\/p>\n

Purchased Price:<\/b> $2.89
\nSize:<\/b> Large
\nRating:<\/b> 8 out of 10
\nPros:<\/b> The drink has a nice, creamy consistency. The orange and chocolate flavors mix together surprisingly well. Even the smaller version will fill you up.
\nCons:<\/b> The whipped cream doesn\u2019t add a whole lot to the experience. The chocolate \u201crings\u201d don\u2019t complement the rest of the shake as well as they could. Wondering how long it\u2019ll be before Arby\u2019s rolls out their Zebroid, Wholphin and Beefalo follow-up shakes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
