How to Store Cherry-Cola Milkshake

If you have leftover Cherry-Cola Milkshake, store it in an airtight container in the freezer. However, it’s best to serve it fresh because milkshakes can lose their creamy texture when frozen and then thawed.

Make sure your vanilla ice cream is soft enough to blend easily, but not melted.
You can adjust the amount of milk based on how thick or thin you prefer your milkshake.
For extra flavor, you can add crushed ice before blending if you want a frostier drink.

Variation

Feel free to get creative! You can try using chocolate ice cream instead of vanilla for a chocolate cherry cola shake. Adding a scoop of chocolate syrup to the blend can also enhance the richness.
