Frequently Asked Questions

When is National Coffee Milkshake Day?

National Coffee Milkshake Day is celebrated annually on July 26th, and in 2027 it will fall on a Monday.

How do you make a coffee milkshake at home?

Blend vanilla or coffee ice cream, strong brewed coffee or espresso, and a splash of milk. You can sweeten it with syrup or add toppings like whipped cream, chocolate drizzle, or even cookie crumbles.

Is coffee milkshake the same as a frappuccino?

Not exactly. A coffee milkshake usually includes ice cream, while a frappuccino is made with ice, milk, and coffee, blended into a frosty drink. Both are tasty but have different textures.

What toppings go well with a coffee milkshake?

Popular toppings include whipped cream, chocolate syrup, coffee beans, caramel drizzle, crushed cookies, or even a cherry on top! They add texture, sweetness, and fun presentation.

Is there caffeine in a coffee milkshake?

Yes, if you use real coffee or espresso, your milkshake will have caffeine. The exact amount depends on how strong the coffee is and how much you use.

Are coffee milkshakes high in calories?

They can be, especially if made with full-fat ice cream and toppings. But you can lighten them up with low-fat ice cream, skim milk, or smaller portions without sacrificing flavor.

What flavors pair well with coffee in a milkshake?

Chocolate, caramel, vanilla, hazelnut, and even peanut butter pair beautifully with coffee. These can be added via syrups, mix-ins, or flavored ice creams.

Can kids drink coffee milkshakes?

It depends. If the shake includes real coffee, it has caffeine, which may not be ideal for kids. You can make a coffee-flavored shake using decaf coffee or coffee-flavored ice cream instead.

Where can I buy a good coffee milkshake?

Try ice cream shops, diners, or cafés with milkshake menus. Chains like Shake Shack or Dairy Queen sometimes offer coffee-flavored options, especially during summer.

Can I prep a coffee milkshake in advance?

It’s best enjoyed fresh, but you can freeze it for a short time. Just give it a good stir or quick re-blend before serving to get that smooth consistency back.

What hashtags can I use on social media?

Use #CoffeeMilkshakeDay, #CoffeeMilkshake, #IcedPerfection, or #BlendItUp to share your drink online. Perfect for foodies, baristas, or ice cream fans!
