Learn how to make your own creamy, minty, and boozy Silver Shamrock Shake inspired by Halloween 3: Season of the Witch from 1982!
My Silver Shamrock Shake recipe is a boozy twist on McDonald’s popular Shamrock Shake. It’s a perfect decadent treat to enjoy while watching Halloween 3: Season of the Witch or the Leprechaun movies during St. Patrick’s Day.
There are tons of recipes for boozy milkshakes out there on the internet. Many of them call for vodka, but we’re shakin’ things up a bit and adding additional flavor by using a cream liqueur. By substituting a cream liqueur in place of milk in the recipe, you can customize your milkshake by swapping out different flavored liqueurs. I chose to use Bailey’s Vanilla Mint Shake cream liqueur mixed with vanilla bean ice cream. It was a delightful combination!
If you wish to intensify the shade of green of your shake, simply add a few drops of green gel food coloring to the blender before blending.
HOW TO SERVE
One of the best parts of enjoying my Silver Shamrock Shake recipe are the garnishes! To fully embrace the spirit of the film, I chose to garnish mine with candy bug sprinkles and gummy snakes (Haribo Rainbow Worms and Trolli Sour Brite Crawlers). Don’t forget the whipped cream!
