Oreo Shamrock Shake

This Oreo Shamrock Shake made with a sweet combination of vanilla ice cream, Oreos and peppermint, will make you want one all year through.

I’m sure you’ve heard about McDonald’s Shamrock Shake. This minty flavored milkshake is released to the public during March in celebration of St. Patrick’s Day.

I’ve heard that many of you want to enjoy this delightful shake but would rather make your own version of this minty milkshake.

That’s why I created my own version of McDonald’s Shamrock Shake.

This flavorful combination of Oreo cookies, peppermint, and vanilla ice cream topped with whipped cream and cherry will blow your taste buds away.

How are Shamrock Shakes made?

Shamrock shakes are made of vanilla ice cream and a special green shamrock syrup at McDonald’s to give you a minty green milkshake.

When you opt to make shamrock shakes at home, you won’t use the syrup. You’ll use peppermint extract and green food coloring to get the color and minty flavor of the shamrock shake.

What flavor is the shamrock shake?

This Oreo shamrock shake is a combination of a minty flavor with chocolate. If you’ve tried mint chocolate chip ice cream before, then you’ll know the flavor I’m talking about.

This Oreo shamrock shake tastes very similar to a bowl of your favorite mint chocolate chip ice cream, except you get to drink it!

Are Shamrock Shakes always minted?

Did you know that the original shamrock shake released by McDonald’s was actually called St. Patrick’s Day Green Shake and was made with a mix of vanilla milkshake and lemon-lime sherbet?

It’s true. That’s what the flavor was when this delicious milkshake was originally released by McDonald’s in 1967.

This is the perfect treat to enjoy with your family during your St. Patrick’s Day celebration.

This green milkshake will give you a fun green dessert idea for an after-meal treat or can be used as a mid-day snack for the whole family.

Many families enjoy green desserts, green drinks and other green recipes on St. Patrick’s Day since this is an Irish holiday and Ireland is represented by the Shamrock which is the color green.

I love having another milkshake idea that’s simple to make at home using my blender and a few simple ingredients.

You’ll only need about five minutes, a blender, and the few ingredients listed below to whip up this delicious Oreo mint shamrock shake.
