Turkish Delight extravaganza Credit: Chris Middleton --- This year's takes place in Basel, Switzerland. Watch the broadcast live on SBS and SBS On Demand from Wednesday 14 May to Sunday 18 May (AEST) – Get full details of how to watch the live early morning broadcasts and prime time event coverage --- "The shake is not a drink, it's a state of mind," sings Australia's Eurovision Song Content 2025 representative, Go-Jo, in his now-iconic song . No doubt, his lyrics brings a whole new perspective to this beloved drink, popular around the world as a breakfast, dessert or anytime treat. In the spirit of the colourful contest and the glitter and drama around it, we've rounded up some of the best next-level milkshakes we think he would definitely approve of.
The colourful intensity of this loaded shake just the beginning. The shake base is made with milk, choc-coated licorice and ice-cream (use licorice ice-cream, if you really want that licorice-y goodness!), then topped with allsorts, candy twists and a licorice lollipop.
This takes the very popular dessert, banoffee pie, and turns it into a milkshake, a heavenly combination of caramel, banana, ice-cream and cream, topped with shaved chocolate.
Breakfast or dessert? Why should you have to choose? This indulgent shake is like a tower built in celebration of both and does not disappoint on either count.
Go all out for a birthday celebration with rainbow-coloured excess!
If you love the flavour of cornflakes in milk, you'll love this recipe from Mary Berg.
This Turkish delight-infused, thick and gooey mixture is liquid gold – it's like drinking a chocolate bar!
" This refreshing and icy dragon fruit shake is exactly what I need on a hot day in Vietnam," says Luke Nguyen. "The secret ingredient is the condensed milk! It adds a hint of intense sweetness to the more subtle sweet and slightly sour flavour of the dragon fruit." You could also use mango, avocado or pomelo in this recipe.
All the colours of the rainbow in one easy milkshake. This Nick Makrides creation is perfect for Mardi Gras, or any time you want a vibrant vanilla shake decorated with rainbow ganache and coloured sprinkles.
An easy way to create your own dreamy, diner-style milkshakes at home. These get a little pizzaz from flavour-striped glasses, created with a raspberry syrup (for the raspberry ripple shakes) or a cocoa-vanilla syrup (for the choc-fudge drinks).
Another shake with a Eurovision-esque, strikingly colourful vibe, this shake is total pink overload. There's cotton candy in the shake, a sprinkled coated chocolate rim on the shake glass, and when it comes to the toppings, your imagination can run wild: a decorated doughnut, more cotton candy, sprinkle-covered cookies...
If you love peaches and cream, then this milkshake turns the classic flavour combination into a tempting drink... one you may need to spoon mouthfuls of to enjoy though, it's that thick and creamy.

Each week, we try to show off some things that have brought us some joy in the hopes it'll help you find your own, and this week we're showcasing some delicious whiskey, as well as a new season of one of our favourite shows. Dark Lark | Image: Scott Purcell / Man of Many 2025 Dark Lark Limited Edition Release Scott Purcell – Co-Founder I just got back from Dark Mofo in Tassie this Wednesday and last Thursday was lucky enough to head out Lark's Pontville Distillery. Lark has now moved nearly all of it's flagship production from its previous Cambridge facility out to Pontville and it's definitely a site to behold and worth a visit if you're down in Hobart. Full of rich history (literally with buildings built in the early 1800's) and even better stories over a dram, there's plenty to discover. As part of the Dark Mofo festival, Lark now releases a limited edition Dark Lark bottle each year, and the 2025 release is one of their sexiest and best looking bottles yet. The design is inspired by the fiery lichen-lit shores of the Bay of Fires in Tasmania and the label even glows in the dark! It was also awarded Gold at the 2025 World Spirits Competition in San Francisco, one of the most respected and competitive global stages for spirits worldwide. While it wasn't crafted at Pontville (instead at their Bothwell Distillery) there is plenty on offer for whisky fans and you won't be disappointed with hints of ripe paypaya, maple-glazed almonds and juicy berry compote.

For that, I think Couple's Therapy is a fantastic show – the latest season is streaming on SBS On Demand now, and I can't recommend it enough. The show gives you a really unique insight into the process behind therapy, with New York-based psychologist Dr. Orna Guralnik taking you into her practice, showcasing sessions with struggling couples, as well as her supervision sessions with other therapists between. It's really fascinating stuff, and as you watch you'll start to find yourself empathising with her clients' problems, as well as root for them to figure out how to make it through whatever is causing them distress. It does dive into some deeply uncomfortable territory—it's showcasing people's therapy sessions, after all—but it's a great reminder that everyone goes through tough times, and that surrounding yourself with good, supportive people is almost always the answer.

Utopia and fragile democracy at Art Basel fair
This year's Art Basel, the world's top contemporary art fair, paints a portrait of a troubled planet, with works embodying the relentless pursuit of happiness and the fragility of democracies. The four-day event in the northern Swiss border city of Basel, which closes on Sunday, features more than 280 galleries presenting works by around 4,000 artists. The monumental works section features an 85-metre-long installation entitled "The Voyage -- A March To Utopia". Created by the studio of Dutch artist Joep van Lieshout, it features 80 large sculptures forming a procession of absurd objects, where "everybody walks in the same direction... on their way to a happy place", the artist told AFP. The journey begins with a team of oxen, followed by all means of getting to that better world, including a walking stick, a cart, a toilet on wheels, a wheelchair and a mobile surgical theatre for those struggling to keep up. Next come objects representing everything the convoy is carrying, followed by sculptures of ghosts symbolising those who didn't make it to the end. It ends with machines set to destroy the road behind them, so that "there's no going back", the artist explained. - Flag of logs - A stone's throw away, Spanish artist Jaume Plensa presents a work composed of 21 aluminium doors engraved with the articles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in 1948. Entitled "Forgotten Dreams", it invites viewers to contemplate collective aspirations and not forget the horrors of the past. Vietnam-born Danish artist Danh Vo has installed a huge US flag made from hundreds of logs and 13 steel stars, referencing the first version of the flag from 1777. Reconstructed at Art Basel, "In God We Trust" was first created in 2020, during the presidential election campaign between Donald Trump and Joe Biden. The logs were removed one by one and burned in fireplaces, gradually causing the flag to disappear. The work serves as an allegory of the fragility of US democracy. - Go-go dancers - Art Basel is above all a commercial event, where artists and galleries come to meet wealthy collectors. But the fair is also very popular with art lovers who come for the simple pleasure of browsing the works on show. Its "Unlimited" section brings together monumental pieces intended for museums and major collections. It includes recent as well as older works, including a performance created in 1991 by Felix Gonzalez-Torres, a US artist from Cuba who died of AIDS in 1996. Called "'Untitled' (Go-Go Dancing Platform)", it features a man dressed in silver shorts dancing on a podium for a few minutes, twice a day. "It's an interesting moment to revisit it," said the "Unlimited" section's curator, Giovanni Carmine, recalling that the artist created the performance shortly after the death of his partner from AIDS, "in a context that was also very reactionary". Gonzalez-Torres responded with "a very political gesture" with a performance that is "a celebration of life". - Angels and light - The "Unlimited" hall features 67 works, including three angels by German sculptor Thomas Schutte, which foster "a certain ambivalence", said Carmine. With "their wings resembling razors", are they "protective angels or angels of the apocalypse?", he asked. Japanese artist Izumi Kato brings a touch of poetry with his stone structures, painted with enigmatic faces, drawing on the Japanese tradition that each stone contains a spirit. US artist Arlene Shechet plays on contrasts, with a heavy orange abstract sculpture designed to give an impression of lightness despite its weight. "The current political situation is dark and so bringing light and colour and joy and spirit and art is very meaningful," she told AFP. noo/rjm/djt/tc
