Milkshakes weren’t always the sweet, frosty treat we know today. First coined in 1885, “milkshake” referred to a hearty beverage of milk, eggs, and whiskey—enjoyed both as a health tonic and a proper indulgence. Fast-forward to now, and the tradition lives on with decadent ice cream blends and creative cocktail spins.
