This popular confectionery drink has been enjoyed by the people for decades, first becoming popular at the start of the 20th century, growing in popularity in the two decades after the debut of electric blenders.
They became a prominent aspect of youth culture since ice cream shops were a culturally acceptable meeting location for teenagers, leading to milkshakes becoming a symbol of adolescent innocence.

Frequently Asked Questions
How Can I Make A Milkshake Taste Better Without Ice Cream?
If you wish to make a milkshake but you do not have any ice cream, there are other alternatives that you can use to create an equally delicious recipe.
Try mixing the remaining ingredients with some crushed ice cubes to create a thicker consistency, or a banana may be added to thicken the milkshake.
If you have a blender readily on hand, you could even blend all the ingredients together (without ice cream) for a couple of minutes for a somewhat denser texture, allowing air to enter the mixture and thicken it.
What Is The Difference Between Chocolate Milk and Chocolate Milkshake?
There are big differences between chocolate milk and chocolate milkshakes. While the chocolatey flavors are overall fairly similar, it is the texture that really sets these beverages apart.
A chocolate milkshake is created by blending milk, chocolate syrup, and ice cream together, creating a much heavier, frostier mixture. Chocolate milk only requires milk and chocolate syrup, making it a thinner, smoother consistency.
What Are The Ingredients In A Milkshake?
A milkshake usually consists of milk, ice cream, and specific flavors of syrup being blended together, often topped with whipped cream and some flavored sauce.
The most popular flavors of milkshake are plain vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, and banana, although there are hundreds of variants that can be made. You can even get creative with this recipe, adding whatever flavors you desire to create your own personalised milkshake.
