Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with this homemade Shamrock Shake recipe! This creamy, minty treat is easy to make with vanilla ice cream, milk, peppermint extract, and a splash of green food coloring. Topped with whipped cream and a maraschino cherry, it’s the perfect indulgence for the season.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups vanilla ice cream
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract
  • 3 to 4 drops green food coloring (optional)
  • Whipped cream (for topping)
  • Maraschino cherry (for topping)

Instructions

  • Place the vanilla ice cream, milk, peppermint extract, and green food coloring (if using) into a blender.
  • Blend on high until smooth and creamy.
  • Pour the shake into a glass, then top with whipped cream and a maraschino cherry.

Notes

  • Add chocolate: For a mint chocolate flavor, add chocolate syrup or chocolate chips.
  • Vegan version: Swap dairy ice cream and milk for plant-based alternatives like almond or oat milk.
  • Extra minty: Increase peppermint extract for a stronger mint taste.
  • Storage: Best enjoyed immediately, but can be stored in an airtight container in the freezer (texture may change after re-blending).
