Quick, shield your children’s eyes. This one’s for the adults only.
Sinful in pretty much every way, this is the shamrock shake to end all shamrock shakes. It’s an adult shamrock shake with not one, not two, but three kinds of booze. Plus copious amounts of vanilla ice cream. And whipping cream. And the cherry on top, is, well … a cherry on top.
Once again my guy and I donned our dutiful recipe tester hats and tried a few variations of this naughty shake until we came up with the perfect concoction. The sacrifices we make, I tell ya.
Flavors of cool mint, luscious vanilla, and delicious Baileys give this unabashedly adult shamrock shake oodles of Irish flair.
Top o’ the happy hour to ya.
- 6 cups (3 pints) vanilla ice cream
- 4 ounces (1/2 cup) creme de menthe liqueur
- 3 ounces (1/3 cup) vodka
- 3 ounces (1/3 cup) Irish cream liqueur (like Baileys)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Maraschino cherries and sweetened whipped cream for garnish
- Add vanilla ice cream, creme de menthe, vodka, Irish cream liqueur, and vanilla extract to a blender and mix until completely blended.
- Divide between two tall glasses and top with whipped cream and a maraschino cherry. Serve with a straw.
I’m totally 100% into this one. Mama needs a tasty green treat while the kiddo sips away on choco mint shamrock-like goodness. YUM!

My friend’s daughters call wine “mommy juice.” We can call this one “mama elixir.” ;)
This looks dangerously good!
I would be passed out on the floor if I had one of these, I know it. But somehow I feel like it would be worth it…
SO worth it. My husband keeps asking for more but I told him the post is up, testing is over! Maybe on Sunday…
YUM! I was wondering what on earth I could do with the bottle of creme de menthe I have in my liquor cabinet — now I know. ;)
It’s kind of a strange liqueur (it reminds me of the cold medicine Novahistine of my youth) but it works perfectly in naughty shamrock shakes. :)
That looks sinful in all the best ways. :)
I could use a boozy shamrock shake right about now! This sounds awesome!
LOVE THIS!!! Milkshake + alcohol = perfect.
Oh dear….happy Friday to me! I need to make one of these ASAP! :)
What a fun drink! Perfect for St. Patricks day can’t wait to make it :)
Oh yum this looks so good, I love a grown-up milkshake!
