National Coffee Milkshake Day

National Coffee Milkshake Day is not celebrated on the hottest day of the year – July 26th – without reason. Many enjoy the perfectly balanced combination of ice cream and coffee. Often gourmets call this a culinary work of art. So, discover the taste of summer for yourself.

The History

Milkshake appeared in 1885. This was an alcoholic drink that resembled eggnog. It was made from whiskey, raw eggs, and special seltzer water. Gradually, non-alcoholic versions with syrups of different flavors – chocolate, cherry, and strawberry – were called milkshakes. Vanilla is the most common.

Until technological progress produced a mixer, cocktails looked like this – crushed ice, milk, syrup with a certain taste, and sugar. The first mixer appeared at the beginning of the 20th century; since then, cocktails have acquired the homogeneous consistency familiar to us. By 1930, they were sold in many stores and cafes.

Recipes for various cocktails

• Italian – add espresso and a few drops of lemon juice to the milk base.
• Vietnamese – mix coconut ice cream and condensed milk, add cubes of frozen coffee.
• Mexican – dark coffee, cinnamon, and orange extract are added to a regular milkshake.
