Copycat Shamrock Shake
Description
This Copycat Shamrock Shake is made by combining vanilla ice cream with whole milk, mint extract, and a splash of green food coloring in a blender until smooth and creamy. The mint extract provides a distinctive cool flavor, distinct from stronger peppermint, while the color gives it a vibrant appearance. The shake is poured into glasses and topped with whipped cream, green sanding sugar or sparkling sugar for texture and aesthetic, and finished with a maraschino cherry for a pop of color.
The recipe yields a refreshing and sweet milkshake with a balance of creamy vanilla and mint flavors. It can be made in batches if the blender is not large enough to mix all ingredients at once. The shake is best enjoyed cold and fresh as a festive treat.
Ingredients
- 6 cups vanilla ice cream (1.5 quart container)
- 1 1/2 cups milk whole
- 3/4 tsp mint extract you want mint - not peppermint, pure
- 1/8 tsp green food coloring (approximately 10-15 drops of liquid food coloring)
- Whipped Cream for serving
- green sanding sugar or sparkling sugar, for serving
- maraschino cherries for serving
Instructions
- Add ice cream, milk, mint extract and food coloring to large blender. I ended up having to do mine in batches, but if you have a large and powerful blender you might be able to do it all at once.
- Blend until smooth. Pour into serving glasses.
- Top with whipped cream, green sugar and a cherry, if desired.
