Milkshakes are a lovely treat for the young, but you definitely would not want to give the original recipe to a child.
奶昔是款待年輕人的好東西，但你絕對不願意給孩子們品嚐早期的奶昔。
The first time the world saw the word ‘milkshake’ was in 1885, in a British newspaper. The article did not go on to talk about if people preferred strawberry or banana flavour; in fact, what the article did say was that milkshake was a “sturdy, healthful eggnog type of drink, with eggs, whiskey, etc., served as a tonic as well as a treat.” Yes, that’s right; the original milkshake contained alcohol.
“奶昔”一詞於1885年在英國的一份報紙上第一次問世。文章並沒有繼續討論人們更喜歡草莓還是香蕉的香味；實際上，這篇文章所描述的奶昔是一種“堅硬的、健康的蛋酒式飲品，裏面加有雞蛋、威士忌等，既是一種補藥，也可用來款待賓朋。”沒錯，最初的奶昔裏面含有酒精。
The actual milkshake we know and love came a little later in the 1900s. In 1922, a man called Ivan “Pop” Coulson wanted to make a remix on the recipe. Ever an experimenter, he added the one ingredient that made a huge impact on the recipe of milkshake forever; ice cream. Since then, the version with whiskey in it has fallen out of public knowledge; unfortunately, alcoholic milkshakes are not an item on the ‘hidden menu’ in fast food places.
我們現在知道且喜愛的奶昔出現得較晚，到20世紀90年代纔出現。1922年，一個名叫Ivan Pop Coulson的人想在食譜中再混合點東西。他在試驗品中加入了一種發揮了重要作用的原料——冰激凌。從那以後，加有威士忌版本的奶昔就逐漸退出了公衆視野；不幸地是，酒味奶昔在快餐店的“隱藏菜單”裏也不提供。
