ALMOST-FAMOUS SHAMROCK SHAKE
Green food for St. Patrick's Day is a purely American tradition - thanks in part to McDonald's. The chain dyed milkshakes green as a promotion in 1970 and is still cranking them out 50 years later. Shamrock Shakes have developed a bit of a cult following. Fans debate the flavor (it's officially vanilla-mint, but some insist there's a hint of lime) and frantically visit multiple locations to get their hands on one. Only certain spots sell them, and only in February and March. If you can't find one, get your fix with this recipe from our test kitchen.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, high-quality ingredients will result in a better-tasting shake. Use real vanilla extract, whole milk, and high-quality ice cream.
- Start with cold ingredients: Using cold ingredients will help the shake stay thick and creamy. Chill your milk, ice cream, and glass before making the shake.
- Blend until smooth: Blend the shake until it is smooth and creamy. If you have a high-powered blender, you can blend the shake for a shorter amount of time. If you have a less powerful blender, you may need to blend the shake for a longer amount of time.
- Add toppings: Top the shake with whipped cream, sprinkles, or a cherry for a finishing touch.
