Liquids were permitted between meals even in the old rules. 

According to Jone, one of the moral theology manuals from before V2, liquids included milk and chocolate milk, but not malted milk or milk shakes.

Alcohol was also allowed between meals though Jone says it may break the spirit of Lent.

Does a beverage with a cultured buttermilk like consistency break a fast?

Are you talking about the Eucharistic fast or daily/seasonal fasts?

I assumed the OP was asking about the Lenten fast.
Still, if something like a milkshake was not allowed between meals during Lent, I think it's clear it's considered "food" rather than "liquid", and would be subject to the Eucharistic fast rules for food.

This happens to not be the case as the Eucharistic fast is somewhat different and is measured by the "straw rule," at least according to Fr. Connell.
