About Milkshake

Milkshake is an indulgent dessert cultivar that emerged during the late-2010s vanilla-cream breeding movement. By combining the sweet, frosting-coated resin of Cookies and Cream with a heavy-hitting gas parent, Milkshake produces rock-solid, silver-green nugs heavily dusted in glistening trichomes. The aroma is rich, smooth, and decadent—evoking memories of malted vanilla milkshakes, sweet whipped cream, and subtle spicy fuel undertones. The high is wonderfully comforting: a warm mental blanket of euphoria that melts away stress before settling deeply into the physical body.
