Shamrock Shakes
Shamrock Shakes are to St. Patrick’s Day like Christmas lights are to Christmas and Easter baskets are to Easter. Â It’s that ‘sign’ that St. Patty’s Day is right around the corner. Â They even have a cult following of sorts. McDonald’s announces those little shakes are on sale, and it’s like a zombie hoard – but with shake fanatics.
Shaaaaaakes. Â (in my best brrraaaiiins voice. Â I’m a certain kind of special, y’all).
I don’t think people realize how simple these are to make at home though – not to mention how much cheaper! Â It’s simply vanilla ice cream, milk, green food coloring, & peppermint extract.
And check it out – I got a half gallon of milk for just over a buck.  Y’all know how excited I am about that one! 🙂
Just pop your ice cream into your blender…
Add in your milk & a splash of peppermint extract.
And a little green food coloring.Â
Blend until smooth & creamy.
Keep on handy at all times during this season to avoid being pinched.
