One shake at Cook Out supplies a full day of vitamin C: the Cookout Orange Push Up milkshake, which the official nutrition guide lists at 101% of the Daily Value. A high school paper ranked it fifth of 43, a TikTok fan called it the best shake at Cook Out, and a fan scorer said it tastes more like orange sherbet. A 34 oz cup, 638 calories, typically $3.99.
Is Orange Push Up a Creamsicle or an orange sherbet shake?
Reviewers split on the frozen treat it copies. The Daily Meal, which lists it as Orange Push-Pop and ranks it 13th of 41, describes a light orange flavor in vanilla soft serve that is a Creamsicle shake. Mashed framed it around childhood memories, all the silky orange flavor of a handheld sherbet treat in one cup. The fan scorer at cookoutmilkshakereviews.com gave it 12 of 17 and said it tastes more like orange sherbet than an orange push pop, with brain freezes and clumpy spots. A Yelp reviewer at the Whitehaven location in Memphis called it an excellent Orange Push shake, smooth and creamy like a dream sickle.
