Ingredients
- 2 cups premium vanilla ice cream
- 2/3 cup whole milk (adjust if needed)
- 1/4 teaspoon mint extract (or more to taste; NOT peppermint if you want the most authentic taste)
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 8–9 drops green food coloring
- chocolate syrup (for glass drizzle, optional)
- whipped cream, green decorator sugar and/or sprinkles, maraschino cherries (optional for garnish)
Instructions
- In a blender, combine the ice cream, milk, mint extract, vanilla extract, and green food coloring. Blend until smooth and creamy. Too thick? Add a splash of milk. Too thin? Blend in another scoop of ice cream or a few ice cubes.
- Drizzle chocolate syrup around the inside of two tall glasses, if desired. Divide the shake between glasses.
- Top with whipped cream, green sugar or sprinkles, and a maraschino cherry if using. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- Adjust the mint extract to your taste if you want a stronger mint flavor.
- If you don’t have green food coloring, you can skip it or use a few drops of spinach juice for a natural color.
- Serve in tall glasses with whipped cream and sprinkles for extra flair.
