The Cookout Mint milkshake is the mint shake without the add-ins, and the lightest of the three. At 605 calories in a 33.5 oz cup, typically $3.99, it has 248 fewer calories than Oreo Mint and 229 fewer than Chocolate Chip Mint. No reviewer lists it by name, so the evidence comes from the shakes around it, and it all points at one question: how strong is the mint?
How strong is the mint in Cook Out's shakes?
Reviewers say it is subtle. A 2015 review at On Second Scoop found the mint in the Oreo Mint restrained, suspected a mint syrup because vanilla dominated, and wanted more. Mashed said the Chocolate Chip Mint has way too much chocolate and very little cooling mint freshness. The Daily Meal called the Oreo Mint's mint strong but not overpowering. The fan scorer at cookoutmilkshakereviews.com gave Chocolate Chip Mint 15 of 17 and said it tastes like the mint chip ice cream it is named for, and called the Oreo Mint's mint full-bodied.
| Mint shake | What reviewers say about the mint |
|---|---|
| Oreo Mint | Restrained to strong depending on the reviewer; a favorite in the Spoon University bracket |
| Chocolate Chip Mint | Fans say it tastes like mint chip ice cream; Mashed says the chocolate crowds out the mint |
| Mint | No direct review found; the pure version of the same base flavor |
A runner on TikTok gave the practical fix for Oreo Mint: ask for extra mint. The same request works on plain Mint.
What does plain Mint add to Vanilla?
About 50 calories and 13 grams of carbs. The mint flavoring accounts for almost all of the difference between the two.
| Measure | Vanilla | Mint | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|

Fat, sodium and protein do not change. Mint is a flavor layer and nothing more.
