Ingredients

2 cups vanilla ice cream
¾ - 1 cup whole milk
½ teaspoon mint extract
8-10 drops green food coloring
Whipped cream cherries, and sprinkles

Instructions

Mix the ice cream, 3/4 cup milk, mint extract, and green food coloring in a blender just until smooth. For a thinner consistency, add 1/4 cup more milk.
Pour into glasses and garnish with whipped cream, cherries, and sprinkles.

Notes

Blend just until combined.
If the shake is too thick, add more milk in small increments until desired consistency.
If the shake is too thin, add ice cream in small increments until it reaches the desired consistency.
For a boozy alcohol shake, add a little whiskey, crème de menthe, Irish cream, or vanilla vodka.
