Chocolate milkshake is one of our family's favorite desserts. There are many reasons for this! This cocktail is prepared in a matter of minutes, even a seven-year-old kid can prepare it. Many mothers are afraid to use ice cream in cocktails, as it makes the drink cool. But if you do not cool the milk completely, then the cocktail will not be cold and harmful to the child's throat.
History of the dish
The term "chocolate cocktail" was first used at the end of the 19th century in foggy Albion. With the advent of the milkshake (whisky and eggnog based on raw eggs and milk), chefs and bartenders have been looking for ways to improve the drink by adding different ingredients. The way we are used to seeing this drink, it appeared in 1922 in a small chain of Walgreens pharmacies in the United States. In an attempt to improve chocolate malt, Ivan Coulson, a drugstore manager, paired two scoops of whole milk ice cream with chocolate milk powder.
