I love milkshakes and each year in the lead up to St. Patrick’s Day, that fast food chain sells Shamrock Shakes – light green in colour, mint flavoured and I love them!

For St. Patrick’s Day, I like to have make an alcohol version…Shamrock Shake for adults if you will. Want to skip going out to McD’s for shakes for the kids, make them home (obviously omit the vodka).
