Ingredients
- 2 cups vanilla ice cream
- 3/4 – 1 cup whole milk
- ½ teaspoon mint extract
- 8–10 drops green food coloring
- Whipped cream, cherries, and sprinkles
Instructions

- Pour into glasses and garnish with whipped cream, cherries, and sprinkles.
Notes
- Green food coloring or green gel food coloring is optional, However, without the green color, the shake will be the color of vanilla ice cream with mint flavor.
- Use mint extract, as peppermint can be overpowering in this recipe.
- For a smoother, creamier shake, use whole milk.
- Blend just until combined.
- If the shake is too thick, add a little more milk in very small increments until desired consistency.
- If the shake is too thin, add a little ice cream in small increments until desired consistency.
- For a boozy alcohol shake, add a little whiskey, crème de menthe, Irish cream, or vanilla vodka.
