ALMOST-FAMOUS SHAMROCK SHAKE

Almost-Famous Shamrock Shake image

Green food for St. Patrick's Day is a purely American tradition - thanks in part to McDonald's. The chain dyed milkshakes green as a promotion in 1970 and is still cranking them out 50 years later. Shamrock Shakes have developed a bit of a cult following. Fans debate the flavor (it's officially vanilla-mint, but some insist there's a hint of lime) and frantically visit multiple locations to get their hands on one. Only certain spots sell them, and only in February and March. If you can't find one, get your fix with this recipe from our test kitchen.

Ingredients

Steps:

Combine 3 cups vanilla ice cream, 1/4 cup whole milk, 2 tablespoons vanilla-flavored syrup, 1/4 teaspoon mint extract (not peppermint) and 4 drops green food coloring in a blender. Puree until smooth and creamy, adding 1 to 2 more tablespoons milk if needed. Divide between 2 large glasses. Top with whipped cream and a cherry.

Tips:

Use high-quality vanilla ice cream. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your shake.
If you don't have mint extract, you can use a few drops of peppermint oil instead. Just be careful not to use too much, or your shake will taste like toothpaste.
Add a scoop of whipped cream or a cherry on top of your shake for a festive touch.
If you want a thicker shake, use less milk. If you want a thinner shake, use more milk.
Experiment with different toppings. You can add chocolate chips, sprinkles, or even a drizzle of caramel to your shake.

Conclusion:

Joe's Shamrock Shake is a delicious and refreshing treat that is perfect for St. Patrick's Day or any other time you're craving a sweet treat. It's easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So what are you waiting for? Give it a try today!
