This Boozy Shamrock Shake is the adult version of the classic St. Patrick's Day treat, combining vanilla ice cream, Irish whiskey, and crème de menthe for a creamy, minty delight. Whether you're celebrating the holiday or indulging in a fun dessert drink anytime, this recipe offers the perfect festive twist for those who love a boozy dessert!

Ingredients

2 cups vanilla ice cream

1/2 cup milk (adjust for desired consistency)

1 oz Irish whiskey (or whiskey of choice)

1/2 tsp peppermint extract

2 tbsp crème de menthe (for extra minty flavor)

Whipped cream, for topping

Maraschino cherry, for garnish

Green sprinkles or mint leaves (optional for garnish)

Instructions

  • In a blender, combine the vanilla ice cream, milk, Irish whiskey, peppermint extract, and crème de menthe.

  • Blend on high until smooth and creamy. If the shake is too thick, add more milk to reach the desired consistency.

  • Pour into a tall glass, leaving space for whipped cream.

  • Top with whipped cream.

  • Garnish with a maraschino cherry, green sprinkles, or mint leaves for a festive touch.

  • Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

  • For a non-alcoholic version, omit the whiskey and crème de menthe and substitute extra mint extract or mint syrup.

  • For a vegan version, use dairy-free vanilla ice cream and a non-dairy milk alternative (such as almond milk or coconut milk).
  • To make it thicker, use less milk or add extra ice cream.

  • This shake is best enjoyed fresh, as the ice cream will melt and the texture may change over time.
