Equally easy for single, religious and married alike. icon wink Shamrock Shake

2c vanilla ice cream
1 ¼ c milk
¼ t mint extract
8 drops green food coloring

Blend until smooth.

Make another batch because the first will be gone before you can blink.

Note:
I have no idea where I got this recipe, but I did go looking for it on purpose because Mecandes remembered very fondly these St. Patrick’s Day treats as he used to get them from McDonald’s. Does anyone know if they still serve these up?

    My mother has similar memories.

    I believe I have seen them on the West Coast within the last five years… can’t be more specific than that.

    *off to forward the recipe to my mum*

    McDonald’s here in Dallas hasn’t had them the last several years that I’ve seen. I just bought a vanilla milkshake and added the flavoring and food coloring. At least it doesn’t get stuck in my braces like most food.

    Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for this recipe. McDonald’s Canada hasn’t served these since I was in highschool. At least 20 years.
    Now if I can get some Boo Berry…

    • "Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable." — C.S. Lewis
