A flavored shake drink is prepared from a prepackaged neutral flavored mix stored within a serving cup. A flavored syrup is selected and dispensed through a dedicated nozzle carried by a housing. Each of a plurality of nozzles is in fluid communication with a corresponding solenoid control valve which controls the flow of the selected syrup pumped from a bag-in-the-box styled reservoir. One reservoir is provided for each of the selected flavors. A manually activated programmable timer controls the length of time that the solenoid activated valve remains opened thus providing a preselected amount of syrup into the cup. Switches are provided for doubling and halving the amount of the preselected quantity of syrup when creating varying single flavored and combination flavored shakes. In addition to shielding provided around the blender spindle carried by the housing for maintaining the surrounding area in a clean condition, a protective sleeve is placed within the cup for limiting the amount of mix splashed from the cup during blending of the selected syrup and neutral flavored mix. Prior to adding a selected syrup, the cup of unflavored mix is stored in a tempering freezer where it is maintained at a pre-selected temperature suitable for providing desirable blending of the syrups with the mix.
