First Time Guests Get BOGO milkshakes starting December 1st and running through December 15th
After the past three years, it’s only natural that people are wishing for a return to the “before times.” Now, 2PinkSquirrels, a new craft cocktail and milkshake bar in Northtown Mall, has made that wish come true. And they’ve done it in a way that’s even more magical than we could have imagined. Congratulation Neon Sign
Actually, no. In the mid-20th century, The Pink Squirrel, an ice cream-based cocktail, grew wildly popular in the Midwest “supper club” cocktail culture. Inspired by that trendy concoction (and because drinks are always better when they’re shared) 2PinkSquirrels was born.
The concept behind 2PinkSquirrels can be summed up by the classic image of two red-striped straws in a single milkshake; an image that harkens back to those nostalgic times when folks shared after-school treats at the soda fountain, date nights at the malt shop, and family outings at the ice cream emporium.
With its sassy retro décor, quirky neon signs, and a mouthwatering menu of creamy creations, 2PinkSquirrels is an exciting, family-friendly gathering place that invites guests to relax, socialize, and enjoy adult ice cream-based milkshakes, Elevated Craft® cocktails, 90s cocktails, “Hot Tails” and kid-friendly milkshakes.
When determining the type of establishment they would develop, 2PinkSquirrels founders took note of the diversity of visitors to the Northtown Mall. There were mall walkers, shoppers, and patrons from all walks of life. The one thing they all seemed to have in common was that the mall seemed to be a place for these groups and families to get out of the house and gather together. Wanting to develop something approachable for both kids and adults, they felt inspired to create 2PinkSquirrels.
“Our goal was to create a new nostalgia that is vibrant, innovative, and family-centric,” said Taryn Olsen, Executive Creative Director. “We wanted 2PinkSquirrels to be a place where guests of all ages could indulge in delicious milkshakes while appreciating vintage elements of the past.”
The establishment opened in August 2022 and quickly gained popularity as a destination place for the community to gather. In fact, it’s even become something of an elevated “dad/boyfriend couch” where those who are not shopping superfans can hang out while their companions pursue their own interests in retail therapy.
Mixologists at 2PinkSquirrels are creating made-to-order craft milkshakes in front of guests with real, fresh ingredients. They even use secret proprietary 2PinkSquirrels elements for added zing and appeal.
Some of 2PinkSquirrels most popular creations include:
At 2PinkSquirrels, when the seasons change, so does the menu.
