Ingredients

4 cups vanilla ice cream
1/4 cup whole milk
2 ounces creme de menthe liqueur
1 ounce whipping cream vodka
sweetened whipped cream for garnish optional
maraschino cherries for optional garnish

Instructions

Set ice cream out for about 5 minutes to soften slightly.
Add ice cream, milk, creme de menthe and whipping cream vodka to a blender.
Blend until smooth.
Pour into glasses.
Garnish with whipped cream and maraschino cherries.

Notes

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.
