Spoon University ran Cook Out's shakes through a five-round bracket and one flavor finished at the top of the pack in every round. The Cookout Oreo Mint milkshake is a bright green, 33 oz blend of mint ice cream and Oreo pieces. It carries 853 calories, typically costs $3.99, and wins two of the best-known rankings.

Why do so many reviewers pick Oreo Mint first?
The shake wins on texture, flavor and recognition, and the ranking record shows it.
| Source | Format | Oreo Mint's position |
|---|---|---|
| Mashed | 37 flavors ranked | 1st |
| Spoon University (bracket) | Taste test of every flavor | Winner, beat Strawberry in the final |
| The Daily Meal | 41 flavors ranked | 5th |
| cookoutmilkshakereviews.com | Fan scoring out of 17 | 15.5 of 17 |
| The Talon (high school paper) | 2018, 43 shakes | 6th |
In the bracket, seven tasters worked through five rounds: taste, texture, endurance, suckability and a final. Oreo Mint was a judge favorite in rounds one and three, made the top five in the straw round and beat Strawberry in the final. Mashed called it extra creamy with a clear Oreo cream flavor.
Does the mint taste real?
The community split on how much mint it needs. A 2015 review at On Second Scoop found the mint restrained and suspected a mint syrup because vanilla dominated, and wanted more. The fan scorer called the mint full-bodied and in harmony with the chocolate cookie, giving flavor its top mark. The Daily Meal landed in between: strong but not overpowering.
The ordering tip from a runner on TikTok is the practical fix: ask for extra mint. One TikTok reviewer scored the shake 6 out of 10, so mint preferences decide the verdict.
Will the Oreo pieces clog your straw?
Opinions differ by store and cup. On Second Scoop found evenly sized wafer pieces that never clogged the straw. The Daily Meal found chunks that did, and recommended a spoon. The fan scorer rated the texture 1.5 of 2: the Oreo bits were pronounced, but more chunks would have deepened the experience. Bring both a straw and a spoon.
Is Oreo Mint the Cook Out answer to the Shamrock Shake?
Spoon University's Elon roundup thinks so. It saved Oreo Mint for the end of its list of five Cook Out shakes that beat McDonald's Shamrock Shake, called it the golden child of classic mint chocolate chip and Oreo, and named it the author's favorite. The same piece criticized the Shamrock Shake for a thin consistency and a toothpaste resemblance.
Which Cook Out shake has the most carbs?
Oreo Mint, with 138 grams. That tops all 44 flavors in Cook Out's official nutrition guide, where the typical shake has 108 grams.
| Measure | Oreo Mint | Rank of 44 | Typical flavor |
|---|---|---|---|
| Calories | 853 | 4th | 689 |
| Total carbs | 138 g | 1st | 108 g |
| Sugar | 115 g | 3rd (tied) | 100.5 g |
| Sodium | 678 mg | 5th | 472 mg |
| Iron | 14% DV | 3rd | 2% DV |
The iron figure is the odd one: seven times the typical shake. The enriched flour in the cookies supplies it. Against plain Oreo, mint adds 51 calories and 13 grams of carbs and changes nothing else on the label. Our Oreo milkshake page has the full side-by-side.
How does Oreo Mint compare with Cook Out's other mint shakes?
It is the heaviest of the three mint shakes and the densest. Per ounce, Oreo Mint packs 25.8 calories to Chocolate Chip Mint's 23.8 and plain Mint's 18.1.
| Mint shake | Size | Calories | Carbs | Sugar | Calories per oz |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mint | 33.5 oz | 605 | 99 g | 96 g | 18.1 |
| Chocolate Chip Mint | 35 oz | 834 | 120 g | 115 g | 23.8 |
| Oreo Mint | 33 oz | 853 | 138 g | 115 g | 25.8 |
Plain Mint has 248 fewer calories than Oreo Mint in nearly the same cup. It is the pick for green mint flavor without the cookie load.
Is the Oreo Mint milkshake gluten-free?
No. The Oreo pieces contain wheat and soy, and the shake contains milk. Our allergen chart lists milk and soy for it, and the cookies bring the wheat. Shakes are prepared on shared equipment, so anyone with a serious allergy should speak to the staff first.
Is the Cookout Oreo Mint milkshake the one to get?
Yes. It is the most decorated shake on the menu, and the 33 oz cup delivers real cookie in every spoonful. Order it when you want a showpiece dessert and can spare 853 calories. Choose plain Mint or Strawberry, at 605 and 610, when you cannot.
