The first sip or spoonful is often times the best. But it can also be the most challenging to get, as the drink / dessert is tightly packed in there. Whether you’re a chocolate, strawberry, or vanilla fan, or another flavor is your favorite, everybody has a favorite choice. There’s so many combinations you can create and the deliciousness of the last sip matches that initial one. We’re obviously talking about milkshakes. This time-honored treat is often times a special snack that either starts your day off right or ends it with a bang. If you’re making milkshakes at home, whether in a blender or in a milkshake machine, you’re going to need somewhere to pour them once they’re all blended. Having milkshake glasses makes total sense if you’re a frequenter of the shakes. While you may often think of the malt shoppe style of glasses, there are other kinds that work well for milkshakes. Check out our picks below and enjoy the first, middle, and end of your shake.
Start with the classic

The glass is healthier than plastic and metal. The set won’t warp, stain, retain smells, or leach chemicals into drinks and beverages.

Milk bottles for milkshakes
Smaller versions of the bottles that milk would get delivered in like the Estilo Dairy Reusable Glass Milk Bottles with Straws are superb. That’s because these are meant for dairy.

Similar to the kind of cups that milkshakes are blended in when you use a machine, you can drink them out of the Greens Steel #1 Premium Stainless Steel Cups. These come in packs of four and you can choose the size that you want. We preferred the pint size because it gave us a reason to drink 16 ounces of milkshake. These have a brushed look on the outside and an electropolished look on the inside. Made from food grade stainless steel, these are toxin-free, healthy, safe, and environmentally friendly. They are stackable, so they are easy to store and you can wash them in the dishwasher. This will keep your milkshake cold.
