Shake Ingredients
- 2 cups premium vanilla ice cream
- 2/3 cup whole milk
- 1/4 teaspoon mint extract
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 8-9 drops green food coloring
Optional Garnishes
- Chocolate syrup (for glass drizzle)
- Whipped cream
- Green decorator sugar and/or sprinkles
- Maraschino cherries
Instructions
- Blend the shake: In a blender, combine the vanilla ice cream, whole milk, mint extract, vanilla extract, and green food coloring. Blend until smooth and creamy. If the shake is too thick, add a splash more milk; if too thin, blend in another scoop of ice cream or a few ice cubes.
- Decorate glasses (optional) and pour: Drizzle chocolate syrup around the inside of two tall glasses if desired. Then divide the prepared shake evenly between the glasses.
- Serve and garnish: Top each shake with whipped cream, green sugar or sprinkles, and a maraschino cherry if using. Serve immediately and enjoy your festive treat!
Notes
- Use real vanilla ice cream and mint extract (not peppermint) for the truest authentic Shamrock Shake flavor.
- Adjust the milk quantity for your preferred thickness and creaminess level.
- Chocolate syrup drizzle on the glass adds a decorative and tasty touch but is optional.
- Use green decorator sugar or sprinkles to enhance the festive appearance.
- Serve immediately after blending for the best texture and coldness.
