🥤 Milkshake
Also known as: shake
Milk + ice cream, blended.
A milkshake is a cold drink of milk and ice cream whipped together in a blender. Syrup, fruit, berries or chocolate are often added. The shake comes out thick and frothy. You use about one or two scoops of ice cream for a glass of milk.
The word “milkshake” first appeared in print in 1885. Back then it meant a strong drink with whiskey, similar to eggnog. By 1900 the word was used for non-alcoholic drinks with chocolate, strawberry or vanilla syrup. In the early 20th century people began adding ice cream to them.
Mixers made the milkshake what it is. A drink mixer appeared in 1911, and in 1922 a blender with the motor at the bottom. That same year Ivar Coulson, who worked at a drugstore soda fountain in Chicago, added two scoops of vanilla ice cream to malted milk. That was how the malted milkshake was born. By the 1930s machines could whip five shakes at once.
