Ingredients

Milkshake

  • 2 cups vanilla ice cream
  • ½ cup milk
  • ½ tsp mint flavor
  • A drop of green food color* see notes.

Toppings

  • Whipped cream
  • maraschino cherries
  • sprinkles.

Instructions

  • Put vanilla ice cream in the jar of a bender, add milk of choice, mint flavor, and food color. Blend till smooth.
  • Serve immediately topped with whipped cream and maraschino cherries.

Notes

  1. If you don’t have green food color, a drop of yellow and a drop of blue will give you green.
  2. If you find that the blue is more, add more drops of yellow to balance it out.
  3. You can use mint ice cream to make shamrock shake. If using mint ice cream, skip the mint flavor and green color.
