Milkshakes
Throughout Summer
When the term "milkshake" was first used in print in 1885, milkshakes were an alcoholic whiskey drink. However, by 1900 the term referred to wholesome drinks made with chocolate, strawberry, or vanilla syrups. We have taken this idea to treat you to a rich almond milkshake topped with marshmallows, smooth and plentiful. And in keeping with the milkshake’s origins we can also add a shot of a true American legend... Makers Mark Bourbon Whiskey. £8.50 each (without Whisky) / £14.00 each (with Whisky).
