Frozen treats

Some easy drinks for a summer party.

Frappe or Milkshake
Frappe is made of milk, syrup, and ice cream, it ideally has a consistency that ''is something like loose cement"
Milkshake technically, this is the same as a frappe. In some places, however, a milkshake still sometimes means simply milk and syrup. That can cause confusion for tourists, who are expecting something tall, thick, and full of ice cream.

Float
You need soda, ice cream, and a tall glass to make a float. ''Suds and a sidecar" is the old-fashioned term for the popular root beer float. Ice cream sodas, which are similar to floats, contain seltzer, milk, syrup, and a scoop.

Smoothie
The best of these fruity cold drinks blend frozen fruit, juice, milk or yogurt, and sometimes ice cream. If you dont make your own, they're often offered with an array of nutritional add-ins, such as protein powder, bee pollen, or spirulina. Try to avoid smoothies made with a high-sugar base, too often overly sweet and artificial-tasting

Enjoy!
Guido
