MCDONALD’S is still selling an item that was supposed to be discontinued last month – but only in certain locations.
The popular fast-food chain first launched the iconic purple “Grimace” shake in the UK in August 2024.
The Grimace Shake was featured as part of the McDonald’s Christmas 2024 menu – now fans are thrilled to discover it is still available in some restaurants.
It’s made with blueberry syrup and a creamy milkshake base which creates the iconic purple tinge.
Inspired by the McDonald’s Grimace mascot, which was first introduced in the 1970s, the shake debuted in the US during the summer of 2023.
The character was originally an evil character who stole milkshakes from customers but was later rebranded as a more friendly face of the fast-food chain.
The flavour came to UK menus in 2023.
Just last week, McDonald’s Warwick took to Facebook to share some exciting news.
A spokesperson said: “The Grimace Shake is back for a little longer! But hurry up – it’s only here while stocks last.
“Or until Uncle Grimace finds our stock! Don’t miss out! Head to McDonald’s Warwick Tesco Emscote Road now!”
Across the UK McDonald’s restaurants are still offering the purple drink.
To check if the Grimace Shake is available in your local McDonald’s simply head to the website and use the search bar to find the drink.

Its delivery partners include UberEats, Just Eat and Deliveroo.
But be warned it’s here for a “limited time only”, as stated on the McDonald’s website.
It comes after the fast food chain announced it would be making a major change to its menu on January 6, 2025.
McDonald’s is shaking up its offering with the launch of a never-before-seen wrap and McFlurry.
Foodies can get their hands on a new katsu crispy wrap and grilled katsu wrap.
Both wraps come coated in a katsu sauce with crispy onions, fresh cucumber and lettuce, served in a warm toasted tortilla.
Plus, a never-before-seen dessert has appeared online and in restaurants.
The Milkway McFlurry features a soft dairy ice cream swirled with milk chocolate stars and malt-flavoured pieces topped with a chocolate sauce.
Of course, prices and stock may vary depending on which McDonald’s restaurant you visit.
