I haven't had a Mc'Ds shamrock shake in years, but since it's almost St. Patrick's Day and I've been doing drinks on Saturdays lately (Saturday Sips? What shall we call it haha?), I decided to try to make one today...There are tons of copycat recipes out there - I went with a simple version: For one serving put 1/2 cup vanilla ice cream, 1/2 cup milk, one drop of mint extract (seriously just one drop - trust me), and a splash of green food coloring in the blender and blend until smooth. Top with whipped cream and a maraschino cherry - pretty and yummy. To be perfectly honest I had to make this twice to make it edible - the first one I just added a few drops of mint and it was, to quote my niece at about 4 years old, "di-gusting".
Put just one drop in and taste - so much better!
