A vanilla milkshake is a frothy drink made of milk, vanilla ice cream, sugar, and vanilla flavouring. The drink was invented in 1885, but had a very different recipe. The drink we know today only came about around 1935. Grab a friend and go out to your favourite milkshake spot today, and have a thought at all the fabulous flavour combos you can try!

National Vanilla Milkshake Day is observed on June 20th of each year.

We are continuing to research the origins of this national day.
