Shamrock Shake
One of my favorite perks of St. Patrick’s day is THE SHAMROCK SHAKE! Yes, I can thank McDonald’s for first introducing this creamy minty milkshake ;). In college my roommate and I would watch and wait for the introduction of this sweet treat when we entered into the month of March. Then we would make a beeline to the golden arches. This happened on definitely more than one occurrence than I can remember. It was just what we needed to get through long hours of studying and working on design projects. This is a simple and easy recipe to make your own Shamrock Shake. Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Read More About Who Is Saint Patrick? here
