Milkshake Bar

Recreate all your favorite milkshake bar classics and experiment with inspired new creations in your own home with Hannah Miles’ delightfully nostalgic recipes.

Nothing says pure indulgence like supping a creamy chocolate thickshake through a stripy straw, the ice cream melting and oozing down the side of a cool soda glass. Or perhaps your guilty pleasure is a frothy ice-cold frappé or a fizzy float? Now you can enjoy an authentic soda fountain experience at home. Take a masterclass in making a range of syrups before you dive into the Classic recipes, which include a retro Cream Soda Float, a Banana Caramel Milkshake, and a deliciously thick Vanilla Malt Shake. For a lighter option, turn to the Fruity chapter which is full of brilliant blends: from a refreshing Watermelon Cooler to a delicate Apple Snow Shake. Fun recipes are perfect for the child in all of us – from a cute Donut or Raspberry Ripple Float to a Sponge Candy Shake – while Indulgent recipes are for milkshakes which have definitely grown-up! Sip a sweet Salted Caramel Shake, a decadent Chocolate Cherry Freeze, or a fragrant Rose Dream. Whatever your choice, remember that shakes are not just for summer, they make a perfect treat or dessert for those happy days all year round!
