Yum Alert: Homemade Shamrock Shake

Shamrock Shake
Written by emilyc

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.

Emily is a New Yorker trapped in a Floridian's body and loves every minute of her big city life. With a major in international business and years of being surrounded by ill-fitting suits and all the wrong shoes, she learned that the importance of fashion needs to be communicated to the world. To her, fashion is on the same level as charity work and feeding hungry children. Emily can be found frolicking the streets of her gayborhood enjoying the off-color humor of the gays.
