Coke in a milkshake??? That’s what I was thinking. But then I saw the light. This cola milkshake was fantastic. And a wonderful flashback to my childhood. It was easy to make, of course. The soda adds a malt-like flavor, which I didn’t expect. I guarantee that this milkshake disappeared a lot quicker than it took to make.
I used decaf diet Coke. Regular Coke would work perfectly as well. This cola milkshake is somewhat reminiscent of a float, but with all the flavors in a creamy shake.
I’m A Kid Again!
I love making and drinking milkshakes. They remind me of my days as a kid when I could drink as many of them as I could find. I have to exercise a bit more control now, but I still enjoy them.
Flavor Up!
You don’t want a strong-flavored soda that would overwhelm the ice cream flavors. Coke is perfect. Regular, I mean. If you want, though, you can venture out into other flavors. Cherry Coke would be a great place to start, I would think. I love that stuff. Vanilla Coke? An obvious choice that would up the vanilla game in this milkshake.
If you’re gonna go any ‘weirder’ with the cola flavor I’d probably drop the chocolate ice cream and just add more vanilla. Vanilla can take more flavor. Chocolate is likely to fight it.
More Stuff
If you’re not married to drinking your milkshake, you could add a few more fun things. Like maraschino cherries. That’s always a good place to start. A few roasted peanuts would add a nice crunch. Whipped cream? Oh yes. Lots of it. Thank you!
We often make ice cream at home. It’s really easier than I ever thought it would be. We got an inexpensive maker that more than does the job.
