Cookout Oreo Mint Milkshake: Calories, Taste & Bracket Win

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.

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.
