Ingredients
2 cups vanilla ice cream

1/2 tsp peppermint extract
2 tbsp crème de menthe (for extra minty flavor)

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.

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.
