Ice cream for cocktails is better to choose milk or cream, without additives and fillers, ideally - prepared by one's own hands. Classic ice cream is perfect, it will give the drink a thick and at the same time soft texture.
Milk, cream, fermented baked milk, yogurt, kefir should be natural, especially if you intend to make a milkshake for children.
Fresh fruit and berry purees can be whipped with the milk component or put on the bottom of the glasses and poured over with the milk mixture - you get a beautiful multi-layered cocktail.
Instead of white refined sugar, it is better to use brown cane sugar or natural honey - linden, acacia, flower.
Drinking milkshakes is recommended immediately after preparation, as under the influence of fruit acids, even when stored in the refrigerator, milk can oxidize and curdle.
Overweight people are not recommended to abuse milkshakes, especially those based on cream and ice cream, as they are high in calories.
Whipped cream, cocoa powder, grated chocolate, wafer rolls, cinnamon sticks, pieces of berries, fruits and nuts are used to decorate drinks.
The original way of serving milkshakes is in glasses with a sugar rim: empty glasses are dipped in water, and then dipped in white or granulated sugar tinted with berry juice. This decoration looks very elegant and appetizing!
