The word “milkshake” first appeared in print in 1885, but it didn’t mean what we think of as a milkshake today. The first milkshakes contained cream, eggs and whiskey – certainly every cowboy would approve of such a concoction. It was considered not just a treat, but a healthful tonic. At Community Hospital of the Monterey Peninsula, the Fountain Court Café team understands the same premise – what better way to boost the spirits of someone at the hospital? – and uses a stand-up drink mixer, just like old-time soda fountains. They’re thick, rich, creamy – everything you want a perfect milkshake to be. They might not be a health food, but they certainly are a pick-me-up for what ails you.
