Celebrate St. Patrick’s day with your homemade Irish milkshake (or the classical Shamrock shake, as many people call it) with a creamy twist. A delicious adult drink closely associated with St. Patrick’s day is made with Mint chocolate chip ice cream and Bailey’s Irish Cream. Whether or not you celebrate Saint Patrick’s day, this easy peasy and boozy shamrock are worth trying! While some recipes for this boozy shake will use vodka, we have added some Irish Whiskey for a delightful taste. Feel free to experiment with your favorite liqueur. You can also skip the liqueur if you are not into drinking. Bailey’s Irish Cream is the secret ingredient that will make your milkshake irresistible. Mint chocolate chip ice cream has its significance. It will impart a minty flavor with a hint of chocolate. Add a few drops of green food coloring if you desire to make your shake more festive. Don’t forget to top the milkshake with heavy cream aerated in the Galaxy Gas Whipped Cream Dispenser. It will make every sip of this Irish delicacy more luxurious.

Does Baileys still make mint chocolate?
In 2005, Baileys introduced mint chocolate, but it was discontinued in 2006. It had 17% ABV (alcohol by volume). It had a creamy texture and a rich flavor.
Combining Bailey’s Irish cream with mint chocolate chip ice cream will give the same creamy, delicious flavor.
