Ingredients

1-1/4 cups vanilla ice cream

1/2 cup 2% milk

1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract

Green food coloring, optional

1/3 cup whipped cream

1 maraschino cherry
Directions

Add ingredients to the blender

Place the ice cream and milk in a blender. Add in the peppermint extract and squeeze in a few drops of green food coloring.

Blend the shake

Blend everything together until the mixture is thick and smooth. The color should be a bright shade of green—blend in a bit more food coloring if necessary. Give the mixture a taste to see if it’s minty enough for you. If not, add another drop or two of peppermint extract.

Pour and serve

Pour the milkshake mixture into a tall, chilled glass. Top it off with whipped cream and a cherry. Add a straw and serve immediately.

Before you take a sip, raise your milkshake and give the traditional Irish toast: Sláinte!

Blend the shake just until there are no lumps of ice cream left, the green coloring is even throughout and it has a thick, frosty texture. You can stop once or twice during blending and use a rubber spatula to scrape down the sides or break up the ice cream to help the process.
