Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

6 cups (3 pints) vanilla ice cream
4 ounces (1/2 cup) creme de menthe liqueur
3 ounces (1/3 cup) vodka
3 ounces (1/3 cup) Irish cream liqueur (like Baileys)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Maraschino cherries and sweetened whipped cream for garnish

Steps:

Add vanilla ice cream, creme de menthe, vodka, Irish cream liqueur, and vanilla extract to a blender and mix until completely blended.
Divide between two tall glasses and top with whipped cream and a maraschino cherry. Serve with a straw.

Tips:

Use high-quality vanilla ice cream. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your shake.
Don't over-blend the shake. You want it to be thick and creamy, not watery.
Add a dollop of whipped cream and a cherry on top. This will make your shake look and taste even more delicious.
Serve the shake immediately. Don't let it sit around, or it will start to melt.
Experiment with different flavors. You can use chocolate, strawberry, or mint ice cream instead of vanilla.
