The cited Shaken Udder and Yazoo bottles are PET and PE respectively, while a cited Mars 702ml bottle is plastic. Müller describes FRijj bottles as recyclable, which does not establish whether they are glass. If the retail bottle itself must be glass, check the exact pack; if it is the table presentation that matters, choose a drink by flavour, portions and ingredients, then serve it in clean glasses or food-safe glass bottles.
Who is this for?
Hosts planning the table presentation
If glass servingware matters more than the retail pack, you can choose the drink separately and pour it into clean glasses or food-safe glass bottles. Check the original pack if you specifically want to bring a shop-bought glass bottle to the table.
Hosts pouring drinks for several guests
A sharing bottle may suit a group better than opening one bottle per person. ASDA lists Shaken Udder Vanillicious 750ml as three 250ml servings and Müller FRijj Cookie Dough in a 950ml bottle; Bestway Wholesale lists a Mars 702ml bottle. Match the volume to the portions you intend to pour.
Hosts checking ingredients for guests
Flavour and packaging do not tell you the full ingredient list. ASDA lists milk, barley and sweeteners for its Mars 400ml drink; check the label of each exact flavour and pack before serving it.
What should you check before buying?
Decide whether glass must be the original bottle or simply the serving vessel, then choose a format that fits the number of guests and the product’s handling instructions.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
| Glass presentation |
Check the exact retail pack material. Shaken Udder identifies PET bottles and Yazoo identifies a PE bottle; Bestway Wholesale calls its Mars 702ml pack plastic. A recyclable-bottle description alone does not identify the material. |
I want glass on the table. If the drink does not come in the required bottle, I can pour it into clean glasses or food-safe glass bottles instead. |
| Portions |
Compare the bottle volume with the number of servings you plan to pour. ASDA states that Shaken Udder 750ml contains three 250ml servings; it also lists a 950ml FRijj bottle. |
For a group, I would rather pour several portions from one bottle. For one guest, an individual bottle may be simpler. |
| Ingredients |
Read the label for the exact flavour and pack, including allergens and sweeteners. ASDA’s Mars 400ml listing identifies milk, barley and sweeteners. |
Guests need to know what is in the drink before I serve it; I cannot assume every flavour has the same ingredients. |
| Storage |
Check storage before opening and the instruction after opening. Tesco says to keep its Shaken Udder Chocolush 330ml at 1–5°C and consume it within two days of opening; ASDA gives three days after opening for its listed FRijj 950ml. |
If I buy drinks ahead of Sunday lunch or expect leftovers, I need a bottle I can store as its label directs. |
| Disposal |
Read the pack’s recycling instructions. Yazoo and Müller FRijj advise removing the bottle sleeve; check what your local collection accepts. |
I want to dispose of the original bottle correctly after pouring the drinks. |
Mistakes to avoid
-
Assuming recyclable means glass
A recyclable-bottle description does not establish that the retail pack is glass. Shaken Udder identifies its bottles as PET, and Yazoo has identified a PE bottle.
If glass packaging itself is essential, confirm the material of the exact product. If only the presentation matters, use clean glass servingware.
-
Choosing a sharing bottle without planning for leftovers
Opened-bottle instructions differ. ASDA says to refrigerate its listed Shaken Udder 750ml and consume it within two days; its FRijj 950ml listing says within three days.
Choose a volume that suits the group, then follow the time and storage instructions on the bottle you open.
-
Assuming similar flavours have the same ingredients
ASDA’s Mars 400ml drink lists milk, barley and sweeteners. Another flavour or brand may have a different declaration.
Check each exact pack before serving, particularly when a guest needs to avoid a particular ingredient.
Brand references
These packaging and product examples help distinguish a glass serving choice from the bottle in which a drink is sold.

Its bottled milkshakes include individual and sharing formats, including the Vanillicious 750ml bottle listed by ASDA.
- ASDA states that the 750ml Vanillicious bottle contains three 250ml servings.

Frequently asked questions
Are the cited Yazoo, FRijj, Mars and Shaken Udder bottles glass?
The cited Shaken Udder PET and Yazoo PE bottles are not glass, and Bestway Wholesale identifies its Mars 702ml bottle as plastic. Müller describes FRijj bottles as recyclable without establishing their material. If an original glass bottle is essential, check the exact pack rather than relying on the brand name or a recycling description.
Can I buy the drinks ahead of Sunday lunch?
Yes, provided you follow each product’s storage instructions. Tesco says its Shaken Udder Chocolush 330ml must be kept at 1–5°C and consumed within two days of opening. ASDA describes its FRijj Cookie Dough 950ml as UHT before opening and says to refrigerate it and consume it within three days after opening.
What should I check before serving milkshakes to guests?
Read the ingredient and allergen declaration on every exact pack. ASDA’s Mars 400ml listing identifies milk, barley and sweeteners; do not assume another flavour or bottle size has the same ingredients.
Can I recycle the original bottles?
The cited brands describe recyclable bottles, but follow the instructions for the pack you have. Yazoo and Müller FRijj advise removing the sleeve; Recycle Now provides a locator for checking local collection options.
