Shamrock Shake
Shamrock Shake
The Shamrock Shake is a seasonal green mint-flavored milkshake dessert created by the international fast food restaurant chain McDonald's. It is typically available for a limited time around Saint Patrick's Day.
History[edit | edit source]
The Shamrock Shake was first introduced in 1970. The original shake was a lemon/lime flavored green shake that did not contain any mint flavoring. The mint flavoring was added in 1973, and the shake has remained largely the same since then.
Description[edit | edit source]
The Shamrock Shake is a blend of vanilla soft serve ice cream, Shamrock Shake syrup, and whipped cream. The shake is known for its distinctive bright green color, which is achieved by adding green food coloring to the shake mix. The shake is typically topped with a cherry and served with a straw.
Availability[edit | edit source]
The Shamrock Shake is not a permanent menu item at McDonald's. It is typically available for a limited time in the weeks leading up to Saint Patrick's Day. The shake is particularly popular in the United States, but it is also sold in some other countries, including Canada and Ireland.
Cultural Impact[edit | edit source]
The Shamrock Shake has become a cultural icon in the United States, with many people looking forward to its annual return. The shake has also been the subject of numerous internet memes and social media campaigns.
