Shamrock Shake
This shamrock shake recipe is a copy of the McDonald's favorite! It's a mix of ice cream, milk and mint, all blended to creamy perfection.

Ingredients
- 2 cups vanilla ice cream
- 3/4 cup whole milk
- 10 drops green food coloring
- 1/4 teaspoon mint extract
- 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.
