Milk shake

A Milk shake (pronounced: /ˈmɪlkˌʃeɪk/) is a sweet, cold beverage that is usually made from milk, ice cream, or iced milk, and flavorings or sweeteners such as butterscotch, caramel sauce, chocolate syrup, or fruit syrup. Many more precise and fancy variations are possible and are frequent additions to the menu of diners and fast food establishments.

Etymology

The term "milk shake" was first used in the print in 1885, according to the Oxford English Dictionary, which states that the term was originally used for an alcoholic drink — a "sturdy, healthful eggnog type of drink, with eggs, whiskey, etc., served as a tonic as well as a treat". However, by 1900, the term referred to "wholesome drinks made with chocolate, strawberry, or vanilla syrups." By the "early 1900s people were asking for the new treat, often with ice cream." By the 1930s, milkshakes were a popular drink at malts shop, which were the typical soda fountain of the period.
