Vanilla. As a kid I'd actually order chocolate shakes instead of soft drink as a 'beverage'. My adult taste buds have shied from chocolate's overly sweetness, vanilla is one of my fav flavours involved with anything.

Cotton candy and cake batter ones from Cold Stone are mighty tasty.

Chocolate malted. It must be an Aussie thing!
Milkshakes were made in metal containers, with the coldest of milk, chocolate flavouring, a decent portion of malt powder and a scoop of ice cream!
Gift of the gods!

Lime milkshake? Never heard of it. Might be an Australian thing, they seem to be pretty common here. Not bad, nothing like the lime fruit, a much sweeter, more artificial flavor. An Australian thing?!
I'm fifty and I've never heard of a lime milkshake.
It sounds utterly disgusting, almost as bad as a banana one.

Sitting in the darked recesses of a fish and chip and hamburger shop, watching the sun blaze out of a cloudless blue sky, only to be reflected off the windows and mirrors of all the traffic streaming by on the busy road outside, watching the seagulls hovering over all the people on the hot beach sand across the road, looking for their next feed of food scraps.
I miss the 1970s...

As a (slightly) older and wiser Australian, I can remember a row of pumps in the 'milkbar'. There was chocolate, caramel, vanilla, strawberry, banana and 'lime' which was a 'GI' green flavoured syrup.

A lime milkshake (which they PRETEND is mint and a milkshake) is what you get with a Shamrock Shake. It reminds me of neon. For me, it's a chocolate fudge (or the darkest chocolate available) malt made with the darkest chocolate ice cream in the store, chocolate or fudge syrup, extra whip cream, extra chocolaty, extra malt, extra thick, NO cherry and a dash of milk (less milk makes it THICKER).

I mainly remember the vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, caramel, honey and maybe one or two others...
And I think I was even lucky enough to visit a proper milk bar, but I can't remember whether it was in Victoria, NSW or SA. Some periods of my early childhood are a little hazy, due to the fact that we were travelling around so much in those days.

There's no way I'd confuse mint and lime.
The only lime I've ever liked is the lime juice cordial I use in my hock, lime and lemons.

It tastes more like a combination of mint and lime (now that I think about it and recall).

Please tell me that you remember that evil green cordial called 'GI' by the Cottees company and sold in large plastic bottle to alienate children from their parents due to manic overdose when ingested at parties? It had the same 'flavour' as green lime jelly crystals also put out by Cottees. My mum used to squeeze oranges and fill them with different evil flavours of Cottees jelly for birthday parties! I remember 'traffic light' orange rounds with red, orange and green jelly!

I particularly liked the orange and raspberry flavours.
Mum might have bought the lime flavour, but I doubt I had it more than once. Of course, she might have liked it herself.
I never went near jelly or custard as a kid, because I refused to eat food that wobbled. And I never really went to many birthday parties either.

Hock is a British term for German white wine. However, that can be difficult to find, so I use Coolabah Crisp Dry White.
Lime cordial. I use Bickford's Lime Juice Cordial.
Lemonade. I use Woodroofe Diet Lemonade, but any lemonade will do.
I get a highball glass, fill it 50% with "hock", 30% with lemonade, a slash of lime cordial and three large ice cubes.
Cheers!

Great, so no ham hocks involved. I am more a Chardy gal myself butt will give your recipe a whirl as I am also a Bickford Limeholic though will probably sub a mineral water for lemonade! I am a bit more of a tart! I grow fresh limes so will give it a squeeze in your honour!

Personally, I think mineral water is a crime against both Humanity and nature at the same time, but each to their own.
I know my mum always kept a bottle handy just in case, but it was never my thing.
Lemonade is simply my favourite soft drink and one of my favourite drinks overall - a strong black tea in a big mug with a single sugar comes first.

Might be an Australian thing, they seem to be pretty common here. Not bad, nothing like the lime fruit, a much sweeter, more artificial flavor. Have you tried milkshakes from Nitro lab? The ice cream they have comes out of a cloud of nitrogen oxide. Not just the ice-cream but it's the theatrical display they put that makes you feel awesome. A bit on the costly side but their milkshakes are usually good. 7$ for regular and 8.5 for large. Don't know if it is in Sydney but they are famous in Melbourne. Their mango, passionfruit and litchi flavours are good though they keep updating their menu. Last time I checked they had removed litchi flavour (sadly that was my fav). No haven't tried those.
