A milkshake is made from milk and is a cold, sweet beverage that has different flavors added to it.
Vanilla is my favorite, Strawberry would be my second choice.
A lot of restaurants prepare their milkshakes "by hand". They use scoops of ice cream and milk mixed in a blender.
I like the hand scooped kind the best. Especially with cookies or candy mixed in with it.
Ice cream is a sweetened frozen food that is used to make milkshakes. I like flavored chocolate best myself.
Chocolate is good, do you like mint chocolate chip?
I'm not much of a mint fan. I do like a good ice cream float which is ice cream with root beer or another soda added to it.
Oh man I used to love going to A&W as a kid and getting a root beer float! I'd almost forgot about that!

Origins.
The ice cream float was invented by Robert McCay Green in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in 1874 during the Franklin Institute's semicentennial celebration. The traditional story is that, on a particularly hot day, Mr. Green ran out of ice for the flavored drinks he was selling and used vanilla ice cream from a neighboring vendor, thus inventing a new drink.
His own account, published in "Soda Fountain" magazine in 1910, states that while operating a soda fountain at the celebration,
be made at home with a blender or automatic drink mixer.
A milkshake can also be made by adding powder into fresh milk and stirring the powder into the milk. Milkshakes made in this way can come in a variety of flavors, including chocolate, caramel, strawberry, and banana.
