Notes

Boozy Shamrock Shake

You can make a boozy Shamrock Shake by adding your favorite alcohol. Add 4 ounces (2 ounces per shake) of your favorite alcohol. Ideas include vodka, creme de menthe, Irish cream, or mint rum. If using a mint-flavored alcohol, use less mint extract. Sample, and then add more extract if necessary for your preference.
