A Cook Out representative confirmed to The Daily Meal that the Cookout Cappuccino milkshake is made with real brewed coffee blended into vanilla ice cream. The 31.9 oz cup carries 555 calories, identical to Vanilla on the label, and typically costs $3.99. Reviewers disagree on whether it tastes like a real cappuccino or like a Frappuccino.
Does the Cappuccino shake taste like real coffee?
Mostly, and with a sweet edge. The Daily Meal ranks it 15th of 41 and says the coffee tastes real. Mashed said it tastes enough like a cappuccino to scratch the itch when it strikes, as long as you like coffee in your milkshake. The fan scorer at cookoutmilkshakereviews.com gave it 10.5 of 17, compared it to a Frappuccino and found a slight bitterness that balances the sweetness, but wanted a more earthy flavor and a longer finish.

What is the Caramel Cappuccino order?
Wide Open Country's 2022 secret-menu piece named it among five orders. It resembles a Frappuccino without the high price, and the writer notes the shake uses chilled, freshly brewed coffee, so ordering it early in the day is wise for anyone sensitive to caffeine. It combines Caramel and Cappuccino, two shakes at 560 and 555 calories.
How do you get more coffee flavor?
Mix it with Mocha. The Daily Meal found that Mocha has more chocolate than Cappuccino, and that combining the two gives a bolder coffee taste. Cook Out lets you blend two flavors in one cup.
Is the Cookout Cappuccino milkshake the coffee shake to get?
Yes, for coffee fans who want no extra calories over Vanilla. It ranks well ahead of Vanilla and Mocha in The Daily Meal's list, and it is the base for the Caramel Cappuccino that fans like.
