Historically, a cocktail was considered a drink made from several drinks, at least one of which was alcoholic. And although not every mixed drink is called a cocktail, today this word is used as one of the synonyms for any “mishmash”. It is not known exactly where and when the cocktail first appeared, but there are a lot of legends about its origin. The first such legend dates back to 1770 and tells of a certain American owner of a bar who lost his favorite cock. And ostensibly to the one who finds a cock, the daughter of this owner was promised in wife. After some time, a rooster, somewhere lost its tail, was found and returned to the owner by one army officer. The owner announced the upcoming wedding, and his daughter, who also worked in this bar, was so excited that she began to get confused and mix different drinks. These drinks were immediately dubbed “cock tail”, which translates from English as “cock tail”.
But today we are still talking about non-alcoholic milkshakes, the taste of which is familiar to everyone from early childhood. The recipes for milkshakes for a blender are quite simple in execution. You just need to stock up on the necessary ingredients. For example, such a simple milk shake recipe called Chocolate Bunny requires very little:
- ice cream - 200g;
- milk - 1 cup;
- granulated sugar - 2 tablespoons;
- cocoa - 1 teaspoon.
All components must be put in a blender bowl and beat. A delicious chocolate milkshake is ready. Milk for this cocktail can be both cold and warm (not hot!).
The recipes for milkshakes for a blender are very diverse. For the preparation of these cocktails, a variety of fruits and berries are used, but the basis, of course, is milk. Here's another simple milkshake recipe:
- milk - 300ml;
- banana - 1 piece;
- ice cream yogurt or vanilla - 2 balls.
Pour milk into the blender bowl, add chopped bananas and ice cream there. Beat all this for 10-20 seconds until a thick foam appears. A cocktail is served in a decorative glass.
Milkshakes are very useful for children. Not every child will drink milk as is, in its purest form. Therefore, simple recipes for milkshakes for a blender really save the situation. Here's another recipe for a delicious and healthy milkshake:
- milk - ¾ cup;
- egg - 1 piece;
- raspberry syrup - 20ml or fresh raspberries - 2 tablespoons.
Combine all the components in a blender bowl and beat for 10 seconds at low speed, then increase the speed and beat the cocktail for another 10 seconds. Pour the finished cocktail through a fine strainer into a glass and serve with a straw.
But not all simple recipes for milkshakes for a blender are suitable for children, because they can contain a sufficiently large amount of coffee or cocoa. For example, here's a recipe for an English coffee cocktail:
- milk - 250ml;
- black coffee (brewed and chilled) - 125ml;
- cocoa (brewed and chilled) - 250ml;
- ice cream - 200g;
- sugar - 2 tablespoons.
Combine all ingredients in a blender cup and mix for 1 minute, then pour into glasses.
If there is no ice cream, you can make a cocktail without it. For example, like this:
- milk or cream - 500ml;
- fresh fruits (any) - 150g;
- sugar - 50g.
Pour sugar in a blender and grind it. After that, add fruit slices there and pour milk or cream. Beat all components until smooth and pour into glasses.
These simple blender milkshakes recipes will spice up your menu. In addition, it takes very little time to prepare milkshakes, so you can enjoy new tastes yourself or delight your loved ones with them at least several times a day. Even a child will be happy with such a tasty and healthy dessert.
