When the term "milkshake" was first used in print in 1885<ref>{{cite web |title=A Complete History of Milkshakes |url=https://icebergdriveinn.com/blogs/news/a-complete-history-of-milkshakes |website=Iceberg Drive Inn |access-date=30 June 2024}}</ref>, milkshakes were an alcoholic [[whiskey]] drink that has been described as a "sturdy, healthful [[eggnog]] type of drink, with eggs, whiskey, etc., served as a tonic as well as a treat".<ref name="stuart">Flexner, Stuart Berg (1982) ''Listening to America'', Simon & Schuster: New York, p. 178, {{ISBN|0671248952}}</ref> However, by 1900, the term referred to "wholesome drinks made with chocolate, [[strawberry]], or [[vanilla]] [[syrup]]s". By the "early 1900s people were asking for the new treat, often with ice cream". By the 1930s, milkshakes were a popular drink at malt shops, which were the "typical [[soda fountain]] of the period ... used by students as a meeting place or hangout".<ref name="stuart"/>
The history of the electric blender, malted milk drinks, and milkshakes are interconnected. Before the widespread availability of electric blenders, milkshake-type drinks were more like eggnog, or they were a hand-shaken mixture of crushed ice and milk, sugar, and flavorings.<ref>Vanilla Milk Shake Recipe from the "Second Edition of The Neighborhood Cookbook" published by the Council of Jewish Women, Portland, in 1914. Fill a glass two-thirds full of milk, sweeten to taste with any fruit syrup or with sugar, and then flavor with vanilla. Fill glass up with cracked ice and shake well together until thoroughly mixed. http://www.homemade-dessert-recipes.com/milk-shake-recipes.html</ref> [[Hamilton Beach Brands|Hamilton Beach]] introduced its Cyclone Drink Mixer in 1910, and it was widely used in soda fountains.<ref>Frederick J.
