Our Alpine Mickey shake got made sideways, so his ears don’t line up with his outfit, but it’s still cute. It’s good, it’s different, and it’s rich. You get the gentle pistachio up front and then you’re punched in the face with artificial cherry. We enjoyed this, but the flavor combination is probably an acquired taste, and we wouldn’t recommend this for a child or someone looking for a traditional milkshake. We rate the Alpine Mickey Shake a 5 out of 7.

Chocolate Marshmallow Cookie Shake – $13.29

Chocolate, Caramel, and Marshmallow Shake with Whipped Topping, Caramel & Chocolate Sauce and Marshmallow Cookie Pie

It’s not quite as cute as Alpine Mickey, but the graham cracker crumb rim and heaping whipped cream certainly look appealing. Caramel is predominant, and it tastes like a fresh caramel sauce. Something about it is so much richer and decadent than the usual sauce. There’s a hint of chocolate, and the marshmallow is strong on the backend. The cookie pie is a traditional Moon Pie. We rate this one a 7 out of 7.

We preferred the Chocolate Marshmallow Cookie Shake and think it has a broader appeal. If you’re particularly fond of the pistachio-cherry combination or want the cutest shake for Instagram, Alpine Mickey isn’t a bad choice either.

Schmoozies! won’t be serving anything special for Lunar New Year, but guests will be able to purchase the Mickey-shaped Macaron straw clip there.
