The Shamrock Is Back
Woooooooohooooooooooo the Shamrock is back. My all time favorite milkshake is back for a limited time at McDonalds. The Shamrock Shake, a green, mint-flavored milkshake, is a seasonal dessert sold at McDonald’s during March to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day.The Shamrock was first introduced in 1970. <— The year I was born. A coincidence? I think not.
I don’t believe it (and I should have) but there is an actual website devoted to Shamrock sightings.http://www.shamrockshake.com.
There are also many recipes online to make your very own. But somehow the ones I have tried don’t taste right. It has to come from McDonalds. Like the only good mac & cheese is Kraft. Or the only Spaghetto O’s worth eating are from Chef Boyardee.
So head on down to your local Mickey D’s and get this tasty treat while they last. Tell them Tori sent you. It will get you the most wonderful, “Who the hell is that look.” :)
OH Yum! I didn't think they were out yet. Guess what I'll be having later :)?
Hee hee hee….hey, if it's green, it must be healthy, right? Am I right? :^)
Tori – do you know how long it has been since I've had a milkshake???
*drools*
Victoria-Hey, that's my name too. :)I love the Shamrock!
Penelope-Anything green is good for you. *nods head wisely*
Mandi-I have one yesterday. ZOMG! So good. Here you can get little mini cups so I didn't feel so guilty.
Oh – I have NO guilt ;) I just can't drink them when it is cold! :)
Confession – I've never tried a Shamrock shake
I'm a Shamrock shake virgin as well. I will be changing that very soon. Thanks for the heads up Tori!

I have not had one of these in ages! I'd progressed to making them at home with mint chocolate chip ice cream-so very yummy. Chocolate and Mint-a wonderful combination.
Mandi-I always feel guilty for drinking anything sweet and sugary. :( I have issues. lol
Stephanie-OooO it's so good.
Lisa-I've tried making them but it's just not the same. Maybe if I keep some spare McD's cups ard. :P
Tori, you know-you do have to get passed the chips of chocolate. Having to "chew" your mint shake and all. :) Someone told me that there is like a mint syrup-like what they use at Starbucks for the mint flavored mocha coffees at Christmas time, but I have not been able to find it. In the long run-probably just easier to go to McD's!
Kinda bizzaro that there is a website for tracking the shake. LOL
That's funny – I picked up McD's last night for the kids, and I saw the sign for the shake. I though – "a green shake…I don't know…" but now I want to try it! How have I never noticed it before?
I've never heard of this! Crazy. Must try.
Lisa-Yea. I'm a lazy person.
FV-I know right? lol
Patti-They are so full of awesomeness
Smashattack-They are soooooo good (if you like mint)
Well, now I know where I'm heading next ice cream night.
Is it sad that my SpaghettiOs are from Campbell's?
EW. just ew.
But my hubs loves them. Silly man!
Carol-Campbell's is good to but the Chef rulzs. :)
Twimom227-No Shamrock love? Iz sad.
