Milkshake

A milkshake is a sweet, cold beverage which is made from milk, ice cream or iced milk, and sweet flavourings such as fruit syrup or chocolate sauce in Canada, most regions of the United States, Australia, and the United Kingdom. Milkshakes are usually served in a tall glass with a straw, and whipped cream may be added as a topping. Three popular milkshake flavours are vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry.

Full-service restaurants, soda fountains, and diners usually prepare and mix the shake "by hand" in a blender or drink mixer using a stainless steel cup. Fast food outlets use milkshake machines which freeze and serve a premade milkshake mixture. Throughout the United States, especially in fast food and casual dining restaurants, a milkshake may be referred to as a shake.
