whipped cream, sprinkles and maraschino cherries for serving
Instructions
Place the ice cream, milk, food coloring and mint extract in a blender.
Blend until smooth.
Pour into two glasses. Top with whipped cream, sprinkles and cherries, then serve.
Notes
It's best to use mint extract for this recipe rather than the more common peppermint extract.
Use whole milk in this shake for the creamiest result.
I use 10 drops of green food coloring to get a very vibrant green color. If you're using a gel food coloring rather than the liquid, you'll need 3-4 drops to achieve the same result. If your green coloring is a little too blue, try adding a couple of drops of yellow food coloring.
