- Vanilla ice cream – Use your favorite vanilla ice cream, or feel free to use dairy free ice cream if you want to make this vegan-friendly.
- Vanilla vodka – If you don’t have vanilla vodka, you can use regular and add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the shake. You could also use whipped cream vodka if you have it.
- Crème de menthe – There are different types of creme de menthe, but for this drink you want the green one.
How to make a boozy shamrock shake
Blend the shake. Add about 6 scoops of ice cream to a blender with 4 ounces vanilla vodka and 2 ounces of creme de menthe. Cover and blend until smooth.
Garnish and serve. Divide the shakes into two chilled cocktail glass (preferably highball or larger capacity glasses) and top with whipped cream. Garnish with sprinkles and a cherry before serving.
Keep in mind that the alcohol will automatically melt the ice cream a little bit, so your shake will probably be a little thinner than a non-alcoholic milkshake might be. I promise it’s still great though. If you want to cut back on this, chill your alcohol before making the shake and serve in a chilled glass.
