Ingredients Needed:
- Vanilla Ice Cream

- Whipped Cream
- Maraschino Cherries
How to Make Boozy Shamrock Shakes:
- Set ice cream out for about 5 minutes to soften slightly.
- Add ice cream and milk to a blender.
- Use a cocktail jigger to measure the creme de menthe and vodka, adding to the blender.
- Blend until smooth.
- Pour into glasses.
- Garnish with whipped cream and maraschino cherries.
Recipe Tips and Variations:
- Yield: 2 Milkshakes
- Non-Alcoholic Shakes: Substitute the creme de menthe for 1 teaspoon peppermint extract and skip the vodka. Increase milk to 1/3 cup. Add a few drops of green food coloring to make them green.
- Make it Green: Creme de menthe comes in green or white, which is clear. If you have white, you can add a few drops of green food coloring to make the shakes a festive green color.
- Vodka: We used whipping cream vodka, vanilla vodka or plain vodka works great too.
- Storage: Leftover milkshakes can be frozen in an airtight container up to 1 month.
