Insanely Delicious Ice Cream Shake
Have you ever just really been craving an ice cream shake? Did you feel like you had to go to an ice cream parlor to get a good one? I’m here to tell you that you don’t need to leave your house in order to have an insanely delicious ice cream shake.
History of the milkshake
The term milkshake dates all the way back to 1885 in London, England, but I bet it’s not what you think. It referred to a cocktail that was made of eggnog and whiskey. I told you it wasn’t what you were thinking. The milkshake we’ve all come to know and love didn’t arrive until 1922. This part you might know. It was created in a drug store by the name of Walgreens in the US.
The story is that in 1922, Ivan “Pop” Coulson, a Walgreens employee, sought to improve upon the company’s chocolate malt beverage. As a wizard at the soda fountain, Coulson was always mixing together concoctions. The original recipe was milk, chocolate syrup, and a spoonful of malt powder. However, with one added ingredient Coulson would create a beverage that would stand the test of time.
Can you guess the ingredient? I bet you can. Yep, it’s none other than ice cream!
