Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with this Boozy Shamrock Shake! An adult milkshake spiked with Bailey’s and packed with flavor!
Have you had a McDonald’s Shamrock Shake? Growing up, those shakes were one of my favorite seasonal treats because I LOVE mint ice-cream!
Fast forward several years into adulthood, I still love those shakes, however, more times than not, my local McDonald’s has a broken ice-cream machine, therefore, not serving them. Such a bummer, right?!
Since I grew tired of never being able to order one, I decided to try my hand at making an “at home” version. Since adding a boozy twist on things always seems like a good idea (ha-ha), I opted to use some Bailey’s in lieu of milk.
This Boozy Shamrock Shake comes together easily and is a great St. Patrick’s Day treat! Creamy, flavorful, and ready to sip on in only 5 minutes!
End result?? FANTASTIC!! As in, goodbye ordering shakes at McDonalds and hello to enjoying them in the comfort of my home!
There are a few variations you can use when making these, based on what you have on hand and what you prefer!
If you want to use vanilla ice-cream, add in the mint extract and food coloring, that is one option.
The other option is to go even more shortcut and use mint ice-cream, adding in a bit of food coloring to enhance the green (optional).
Whichever route you go, this Boozy Shamrock Shake will be incredible and the perfect way to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day!
