St. Patty’s Bailey’s Mint Shake
A fun concoction using Bailey’s Limited Edition Vanilla Mint Shake!
Being 1/16th Irish, I always need to come up with a fun way to celebrate St. Patty’s Day. This year, we are doing a boozy mint shake! Follow along for an ingredients list and step-by-step instructions on how to make this delicious treat. I hope you enjoy!
Ingredients:
Craig’s Melrose Mint Chip Vegan Ice Cream (You Can Choose Another Type of Mint Chip or Vanilla Ice Cream)
Whip Shots Vanilla (Or Any Other Whip Cream)
Chocolate Syrup
Mint Garnish
Chocolate Chips
Green & White Sprinkles
Chocolate Shavings
Tools/Glassware:
Blender
Grater
Ice Cream Scooper
Short Glass
Straw
Step 1: Get all of your ingredients together. And yes, I did in fact pick out the green and white sprinkles from my Christmas sprinkles like a psycho.
Step 2: Defrost your ice cream (vegan ice cream needs to sit out for a little bit), warm up your syrup if needed, portion out chocolate chips and shavings, and wash your mint garnish.
Step 3: Scoop out about 5 scoops of ice cream and 6 tbsp of Bailey’s (yes, they will be strong). I know it looks like ~3 scoops here, but I ended up adding more to fill the glass. Add extra chocolate chips in if you desire! Blend for about 25 seconds or so!
Step 4: Drizzle the inside of your glass with chocolate syrup and pour in your beautiful blended shake!
Step 5: Garnish time! The Whip Shots bottle requires you to slap it and shake upside down for ~30 seconds. Add on as much whip as you please, add your mint garnish, sprinkles, chocolate chips, chocolate shavings, and straw (yes, I know I made a complete mess).
And voila! Enjoy this delicious and boozy treat (quickly, before it melts) on this magnificent St. Patty’s holiday. Cheers!
