Boozy Shamrock Shake

This boozy shamrock shake recipe is made with Baileys, whiskey, milk, and blended together with mint chocolate chip ice cream. The mint green adult milkshake is rich, creamy, and perfect for St. Patrick’s Day celebrations.

Is it even St. Patrick’s Day without shamrock shakes?

Each year when February rolls around I start getting excited for the tasty treat’s annual arrival in the day’s lead up to St. Patrick’s Day.

But this year I decided to try something new and whip up a boozy version of the classic green milkshake.

And let me tell you, this green dessert cocktail is as delicious as it looks!

What Liquors to Use in a Boozy Shamrock Shake

• Baileys Irish Cream- a sweet and creamy whiskey-based liquor with a hint of chocolate flavor.
• Whiskey– We used Jameson, a blended Irish whiskey. But you can use your favorite whiskey.

How to Make a Boozy Shamrock Shake

Step 1: Blend the ice cream, milk, and liquors together until smooth and creamy.

Step 2: Pour into glasses and garnish with whipped cream and any other desired toppings. We used a maraschino cherry and St. Patrick’s Day sprinkles.

Step 3: Serve immediately and enjoy.

Tipes

• These boozy milkshakes are best when enjoyed immediately. I do not recommend making ahead.
• To get the perfect shake, check the consistency after blending and add more ice cream for a thicker shake or more milk if the shake is too thick.
• Skip the sprinkles and top your shakes with chopped Andes Mints or crushed Mint OREO cookies instead.
• Want to add extra mint flavor to your spiked shamrock shake? Try adding a drop or two of mint extract or a splash of Creme de Menthe.
