We've seen some pretty wild interpretations of the milkshake in recent years-outrageous versions rimmed with candy and teetering with mile-high toppings. But if anything, those concoctions have made us realize how much we love a good old-fashioned shake. The drinks have been around for more than 100 years, yet they feel as special as ever: the swirly whipped cream, the whimsical straw, the fancy fluted glass-and if you're really lucky, the metal sidecar filled with a little extra of that ice creamy goodness. See how milkshakes won our hearts, then turn the page to find recipes that are easy to make, and even easier to enjoy.
