Milkshake Sauce — 22 lbs / 10 kg

A milkshake is a margin business. The ingredients cost pennies and the ticket price does not — provided the shake actually tastes like something. That is the entire job of this bucket.

Milkshake Sauce is formulated to emulsify cold. It goes into the blender straight from the fridge with milk and ice cream and comes out smooth, with no graininess and no separation while it sits on the pass. Sauces built for warm applications tend to seize when they hit cold dairy; this one does not, because that is what it was designed around.

Five flavours, one flat price — Lotus, bubble gum, strawberry, berry and Bueno. The single price point matters more than it sounds: it means you can put every shake on the menu at the same number and stop doing arithmetic every time someone orders.

Lotus is the adult pick and the reliable seller. Bubble gum and strawberry are what the under-sixteens order without looking at the board. Bueno is the one that gets photographed. At 10 kg (22 lbs) a bucket, a busy summer weekend will not run you dry.
