"After seeing these heavenly jars of perfection all over Instagram, I decided to trek to the magical milkshake creators at Black Tap to try them out for myself."

but all of their masterpieces have been documented on Instagram. 

This recipe is a important creation of New York. 

 

 

"Yes, you’ll probably only be able to have five sips before you fall into a sugar coma, but those five sips will be worth it."

Outside the United States, milkshakes using ice cream or iced milk are sometimes called a thick milkshake or thick shake; in New England, the term frappe may be used to differentiate it from thinner forms of flavored milk.

Full-service restaurants, soda fountains, and diners usually prepare and mix the shake "by hand" from scoops of ice cream and milk in a blender or drink mixer using a stainless steel cup. 

Many fast food outlets do not make shakes by hand with ice cream. Instead, they make shakes in automatic milkshake machines which freeze and serve a premade milkshake mixture consisting of milk, a sweetened flavoring agent, and a thickening agent.

In popular culture:

In 2005, the traditional home of the milkshake, the family restaurants and 24-hour diner-style restaurants that were the "staples of 1950s and 60s America such as Denny's, Big Boy, and the International House of Pancakes" were supplanted "...in terms of revenue for the first time since the U.S. census started measuring this in the 1970s.
