Ingredients
Scale
Shamrock Shake:
- 2 1/2 cups vanilla ice cream
- 3/4 cups whole milk
- 5–10 drops liquid green food coloring
- 1/4 teaspoon mint extract
Garnish:
- 1–2 tablespoons vanilla frosting
- St. Patrick’s Day festive sprinkles
- Whipped cream
- Maraschino cherries
Instructions
- Prepare the Glasses: Using a butter knife, spread the vanilla frosting about 1 inch down the rim of each milkshake glass to create a sticky surface for the sprinkles.
- Apply Sprinkles: Spread the festive sprinkles in a shallow dish. Roll the frosted rim of each glass gently in the sprinkles until evenly coated. Set the glasses aside.
- Make the Milkshake: In a large blender, combine the vanilla ice cream, whole milk, green food coloring, and mint extract. Blend until smooth and creamy.
- Serve: Pour the prepared milkshake into the garnished glasses. Top each with a generous amount of whipped cream and a maraschino cherry for a classic finish.
Notes
- If using gel or professional green food coloring, use less—approximately a swirl on a toothpick—to achieve the desired color without overpowering the flavor.
- Adjust the amount of mint extract to taste for a milder or stronger mint flavor.
- For a lighter version, substitute whole milk with low-fat or almond milk, but note the shake will be less creamy.
