McDonald's has announced that it will be launching a brand new milkshake within days but British customers will have to act.
The Grimace Shake, which is already popular stateside, went viral when it was introduced to US restaurants last year.
The purple drink blends together a blueberry-flavoured syrup with the brand's iconic milkshake base.
The cool beverage is inspired by the chain's monster-like Grimace mascot which was introduced in the 1970s.

How to get your hands on the McDonald's Grimace Shake as it lands in UK restaurants
The Grimace Shake will be available in most UK McDonald's restaurants starting Wednesday, August 28.
However, those in London may be able to try the shake before anybody else with select locations selling the item from today (Monday, August 26).
According to The Sun newspaper: "Box Park Shoreditch is selling the Grimace Shake from 12pm-6pm on Monday, August 26."

Those looking to try The Grimace Shake will need to act quickly as it will only be available for one week, meaning customers will have to snag one before September 4.
The milkshake will set Brits back around £2.69 for a medium size, while a large version of the shake will be priced at around £2.99.
It should be noted that prices may vary depending on the location the product is being sold.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
