Thirsty Thursday: Drink Like a Leprechaun with the Adult Shamrock Shake
By:
Kelsey Vala
It’s more than just alliteration; it’s a statement, a proclamation that Thursdays are when the weekend should really start. Kicking it off right is the key, and what better way than with a cocktail that not only takes the edge off, but tastes good too. A hard thing to disagree with, we know. Drink up, get down and go to sleep happy.
Partake in the mischief and merriment this St. Paddy’s Day with a boozy shake that will have you speaking with an Irish brogue. The St. Patrick’s Day shamrock shake is now reinvented for adults in this spirited concoction, The Adult Shamrock Mint Shake.
Put milk, ice cream, mint extract and rum into a blender. Mix until smooth. Pour into chilled glasses and garnish with a sprig of mint.
