Do the Shamrock Shake

Just so if you’re wondering, this has nothing to do with the Harlem Shake! The Shamrock Shake is green, sweet, mint-flavored…and well, as its name connotes – is.a.MILKSHAKE!

McDonald’s first introduced the Shamrock Shake in 1970 in celebration of St. Patrick’s Day. Get yours today at your favorite McDonald’s outlets in America, Canada and Ireland! Don’t wait too long to get yours though…these are seasonal and will only be sold in March.

McDonald's' first original packaging for the Shamrock Shake, featuring Uncle O'Grimacey! Wait a sec, I thought I've known him to be the color of eggplant? Hmm.

The modern version of the Shamrock Shake.

Don’t have a McDonald’s near your area? Too lazy to do a drive-through or even step out of the house? Fret not! You can make your own Shamrock Shake in the comfort of your home.

6-8 drops of green food coloring

You may add whipped cream and a maraschino cherry if you’re not health-conscious, or if you are but want to pretty-up your shake at all cost.
