Notas
Use High-Quality Ice Cream – A rich and creamy vanilla ice cream will enhance the texture and taste of your shake.
Adjust the Mint Flavor – Start with a small amount of peppermint extract and add more if needed to suit your taste.
Customize the Booze Level – Feel free to adjust the amount of Irish cream or vodka based on how strong you want your shake. For a lighter version, reduce or skip the vodka.
Blend Until Smooth – To achieve the perfect creamy consistency, blend well until all ingredients are fully combined.
Use Natural Food Coloring – If you prefer a more natural approach, opt for spinach juice or matcha instead of artificial green food coloring.
Chill Your Glasses – For an extra frosty experience, place your serving glasses in the freezer for 10 minutes before pouring the shake.
Non-Alcoholic Version – Skip the Irish cream and vodka, and replace them with a splash of vanilla extract or a non-alcoholic Irish cream substitute.
Make It Extra Festive – Top with whipped cream, green sprinkles, or a cherry for a fun, St. Patrick’s Day presentation.
Serving Suggestion – Best enjoyed immediately while thick and creamy!
