Mint Chocolate Chip Shake comes from the soda-fountain and malt-shop side of American food history. Ice cream parlor standard. Counters like those made cold drinks social: a place for dates, uniforms, jukeboxes, lunch breaks, and one more cherry on top. This version keeps the spirit generous and easy to make at home.
