Notes
- Use High-Quality Ice Cream – A rich, creamy vanilla ice cream gives the best texture and flavor.
- Adjust the Mint Flavor – Peppermint extract is strong, so start with a small amount and increase if needed.
- For a Thicker Shake – Use more ice cream or reduce the amount of milk.
- For a Thinner Shake – Add more milk in small increments until the desired consistency is reached.
- Natural Green Coloring Option – Instead of food coloring, blend in a small amount of spinach or matcha powderfor a natural green tint.
- Extra Creamy Option – Use half-and-half instead of whole milk for a richer shake.
- Boost the Sweetness – If you like your shake sweeter, add a tablespoon of honey, maple syrup, or vanilla syrup.
- Make It Boozy – Add a splash of Irish cream liqueur (e.g., Baileys) or vanilla vodka for an adult version.
- Best Served Fresh – The shake is best enjoyed immediately while cold and creamy.
- Garnish Ideas – Top with whipped cream, green sprinkles, crushed Lucky Charms, or even a drizzle of white chocolate syrup for extra fun!
