Orange Creamsicle Milkshake

Milkshakes have a rich history in American culture, dating back to the late 19th century. Originally enjoyed as a simple beverage made with milk, malt, and flavoring, milkshakes evolved significantly in the 1920s when the incorporation of ice cream transformed them into the thick, creamy delights we know today. The post-war era saw milkshakes become a staple at diners and soda fountains, where they were often paired with burgers and fries, solidifying their place in American cuisine.
