Every menu has a flavor that exists for the moment when “treat yourself a little” isn’t quite the right energy, and you actually mean “treat yourself entirely.” On Velvet Drip’s menu, that’s the Nutella Thick Shake.
Why it’s the most expensive shake on the menu
At ₹289, Nutella sits above every other flavor, including the chocolate-forward builds like Belgian Chocolate (₹229) and Chocolate Brownie (₹239). The reason is straightforward: it’s made with authentic Nutella, not a generic hazelnut-chocolate spread standing in for the real thing. That’s a meaningfully more expensive ingredient, and the price reflects it rather than padding margin on a cheaper substitute.
What it actually tastes like
Nutella blended into a thick shake base reads differently than Nutella on toast — the hazelnut comes through alongside the chocolate, and the result is rounder and less purely sweet than a straight chocolate shake. It’s velvety in a way that’s hard to get from cocoa alone, which is exactly why people who’ve had it tend to reorder it specifically rather than treating it as one option among many.
When to order it
This isn’t really an everyday-order flavor, and it isn’t trying to be. It’s the one to pick on a birthday, after a genuinely long week, or just on a day that’s earned something a little more than the usual. If you’re new to Velvet Drip and want to understand what “premium” means on this particular menu, starting here answers the question directly.
Getting it
It’s on the shop page with the rest of the lineup, blended fresh per order. A daily spin on the rewards page is worth checking before checkout — even the most indulgent order is better with a discount attached.
