I can’t believe it… St. Patrick’s Day is rapidly approaching which means SPRING is near as well! Today I’m sharing a St. Patrick’s Day inspired cocktail: Boozy Shamrock Shakes!
So leave it to me when it comes to spiking something (LOL)
. I had the most fun playing with this recipe… just adding a little of this and a little of that until I got it like I wanted it.
Because every holiday is a reason to celebrate, right?!?!
I hope you and your friends enjoy this as much as I did… CHEERS!

I wonder if I could add fresh mint leafs instead of the mint schmapps and food coloring
And blend it together

Hi Rosa, I’ve never tried that and personally wouldn’t do it because I wouldn’t want pieces of mint leaves in the shake (even if they’re blended)… but it’s totally personal preference. Let me know how it turns out if you try it! 🙂
