Baskin-Robbins
Baskin-Robbins Milkshake Copycat Recipe
Four parts ice cream to one part milk, blended briefly. Ninety seconds, and the only real mistake is over-blending.
Copycat drinks from the fast food chains
Coffee-shop syrups, iced coffees and blended drinks.
Coffee-shop syrups, iced coffees, blended drinks and shakes. The economics here are the starkest on the site: a flavoured latte sold for four pounds is built from perhaps thirty pence of ingredients, and the syrup that does most of the flavouring costs pennies a serving to make.
Most of these are two recipes stacked. Make the syrup or the sauce once, keep it in the fridge, and the drink itself becomes a ninety-second assembly. The syrup recipes in this group are written to be made on their own for exactly that reason.
