Quick, shield your children’s eyes. This Boozy Shamrock Shake is for the adults only.
Flavors of cool mint, luscious vanilla, and delicious Baileys give this unabashedly adult shamrock shake oodles of Irish flair.
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.
The result was a cool, minty, and potent boozy shamrock shake to end all shamrock shakes.

Boozy Shamrock Shake Ingredients
Sinful in pretty much every way, this is the shamrock shake to end all shamrock shakes. It’s an adult, boozy 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.
- Vanilla ice cream – Use your favorite kind.
- Creme de Menthe – Green, minty, and perfect for boozy shamrock shakes.
- Bailey’s Irish Cream – Go with classic Bailey’s or Bailey’s Almondmilk. Both are delicious!
- Vodka – Plain vodka for an added bit of booze. You can leave this out if you prefer.
- Vanilla extract – For extra vanilla flavor!
- Maraschino cherries & whipped cream – The perfect topper.
Top o’ the happy hour to ya.

I’m totally 100% into this! Mama needs a tasty st pats treat while the kiddo is sipping on his choco mint shamrock-like drink. 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!
