As ice cream is a bit sweet, sugar may or may not be added. Malt is also used to give an ice cream-like texture to this beverage; it is used in shakes made and offered in diners. Here's a brief history of how this beverage came about.

The Cyclone Drink-Mixer was unveiled by Hamilton Beach. This device was used to blend various drinks similar in flavor to that of the milkshake that came later.
