Ingredients
  

2 cups vanilla ice cream

1 cup whole milk

1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract (adjust to taste)

1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

3-4 drops of green food coloring (optional, for color)

Whipped cream, for topping

Crushed mint candy or chocolate shavings, for garnish

Maraschino cherries, for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Blend the Base: In a blender, combine the vanilla ice cream, whole milk, peppermint extract, and vanilla extract. If you want a vibrant green color, add the food coloring a drop at a time until you reach your desired shade.

    Blend Until Smooth: Blend on medium speed until all ingredients are well combined and the shake is smooth and creamy. If the shake is too thick, add a bit more milk to reach your desired consistency.

      Taste Test: Take a quick taste and adjust the peppermint or vanilla extracts if necessary, adding a small amount of each to enhance the flavor.

        Serve: Pour the shamrock shake into chilled glasses. Top generously with whipped cream, and if desired, sprinkle crushed mint candy or chocolate shavings on top for added texture and aesthetics.

          Garnish: Place a maraschino cherry on top of the whipped cream for a festive touch.

            Enjoy Immediately: Serve with a straw and enjoy your refreshing shamrock shake!
