If comfort came in a cup, it would look exactly like the Ginger Biscuit Milkshake at Protea Hotel Balalaika Sandton.
This dreamy December–January special is the kind of festive treat that makes adults regress (happily) into wide-eyed holiday kids again.
The milkshake is a hug disguised as a dessert:
✨ Creamy vanilla ice cream as the luxurious base
✨ Spiced ginger biscuits blended right in
✨ A swirl of warm cinnamon and a whisper of ginger
✨ Finished with pillowy whipped cream
✨ And the grand finale — extra biscuit crunch + a smiling gingerbread man on top
Available at Coffee on Twenty, it’s the perfect companion to a slow morning, a midday pick-me-up, or a sweet excuse to escape the Sandton summer heat. It’s cosy, nostalgic, indulgent — and at R55, it’s practically begging to become your new festive ritual.
Whether you’re meeting friends for a chat, taking a breather between shopping runs, or simply treating yourself (as one should), this shake brings all the holiday cheer without needing a single jingle bell.
Sip it. Love it. Repeat. Because gingerbread season only comes once a year — and Balalaika makes it delicious.
