The term 'milkshake' was first used in 1885 to describe a frothy, sweet drink made with milk, flavored syrup, and crushed ice. It quickly became a popular beverage choice, particularly in soda fountains and ice cream parlors.
In 1887, the use of vanilla flavoring was introduced in milkshakes. Vanilla, derived from the orchid of the same name, added a rich and aromatic taste to the milkshake, making it even more appealing to consumers.
By 1922, the term 'vanilla milkshake' started being specifically used to refer to milkshakes that were made with vanilla flavoring. This helped differentiate it from other flavor options such as chocolate or strawberry.
During the 1950s and 1960s, vanilla milkshakes gained immense popularity, thanks to their inclusion in soda fountains, diners, and fast-food restaurants. They became a staple and were often enjoyed alongside burgers and fries.
Today, vanilla milkshakes remain a beloved classic. While the original recipe consisting of vanilla ice cream, milk, and a touch of vanilla extract is still popular, there are now countless variations available. These include the addition of whipped cream, sprinkles, cherries, or even blending in other ingredients like cookies or fruits. Vanilla milkshakes have become a symbol of timeless indulgence that continues to delight people of all ages.
