Shamrock Shakes are easily the best part of St. Patrick’s Day. I wish I could say I’ve never walked into a McDonald’s to get one, but I’ll be real – I have, and it was worth it (I left my sunglasses on during the act so as to keep a low profile). If you’re not as brave as I was, make this higher quality version in your own kitchen, untainted by fry grease. Recipe and image via Cupcakes and Cashmere.
