A milkshake is a sweet, creamy beverage made by blending milk with ice cream and flavorings such as chocolate, vanilla, or fruit. It is often served cold and can be topped with whipped cream, sprinkles, or a cherry. Milkshakes are popular in diners and fast-food restaurants, especially in the United States. Milkshakes can be made at home using a blender, allowing for customization with various ingredients like cookies or syrups. They are enjoyed by people of all ages and are often associated with nostalgic memories of childhood treats and summer days.
