Below, check out where to go for the creamiest malts and shakes near you, including ones you can find on the Freddy’s menu!
Best Spots for Malts and Shakes Near You
In the early 20th century, people often headed to their nearest soda fountain to find a delicious malt or shake near them, as discussed at Tasting Table. If you ask some of your older family members or friends about these popular social spots, they may be able to tell you some stories about their experiences there or perhaps even working at their local soda fountain! To enjoy delicious malts and shakes near you today, consider visiting a favorite ice cream shop, fast casual restaurant or diner, or making a scrumptious malt or shake with what you have at home!
Your Favorite Ice Cream Store
At first glance, the menu of an ice cream shop or stand may be dominated by a lengthy list of available ice cream flavors. However, in addition to cones or dishes of your preferred scoops, malts and shakes along with sundaes and other types of ice cream treats are typically offered. If you don’t immediately see the sippable sweet that you are looking for, then you may just need to ask if they can be prepared.
Your Local Fast Casual Restaurant or Diner
Restaurants that offer quick service like a diner or fast casual restaurant are other places where you can often find malts and shakes near you. For example, with hundreds of locations across the country, the malt or shake that you are craving may be just around the corner at your local Freddy’s. However, before traveling to a specific destination for one of these rich, creamy treats, be sure to check out the restaurant’s menu or call ahead to make sure that they can make it.
Your Very Own Kitchen
With a quick peek into your refrigerator and freezer, you may also discover that you already have what you need to make a shake or malt at home, like milk and a quart of Freddy’s vanilla frozen custard. As reviewed in this milkshake preparation guide from The Kitchn, you really only need two ingredients – milk and frozen custard or ice cream – to make a shake. Although making a malt requires malted milk powder, which you may not have in your pantry, you can find this item at your grocery store or online, if you want to prepare a homemade version of this treat.
