St. Patrick’s day is fast approaching and I have a fun and quick drink recipe to satisfy all those little leprechauns in your life!

This refreshing emerald shake is perfect for whipping up after dinner. 

Just a few simple ingredients will keep everyone smiling 🙂

Start with good ol’ vanilla ice cream

Place in a blender and add in half-and-half

Add the green food coloring along with mint extract and blend until smooth

I popped in a green straw to be extra festive!

I added an almond dust topper and it was magnificent!  Don’t leave it off!
