About Butterscotch Milkshake

Butterscotch Milkshake is a simple blended drink made with milk with butterscotch flavors. The main taste comes from butterscotch sauce and chips which gives that signature buttery caramel flavor. Ice cream is optional but it makes the shake more rich and heavy. Even without ice cream also it tastes delicious.

The texture is smooth and frothy when blended perfectly. Ice cubes help in giving chilled effect and slight thickness to the drink. When you drizzle sauce inside the glass before pouring, it looks more attractive and little fancy. Small butterscotch chips also gives tiny crunchy bites in between.
