Baileys Vanilla Mint Shake

Whether you are celebrating St. Patrick's Day or just want to satisfy your sweet tooth, you will want to whip up a Baileys Vanilla Mint Shake! This creamy, minty milkshake is the perfect festive treat.

A base of vanilla ice cream is blended with Baileys Irish cream, peppermint schnapps and a touch of green food coloring to give it its signature minty hue. It's dessert in a glass, and we love the combination of creamy and refreshing flavors - with a boozy twist.

Recipe Tips

• Blended: This recipe is so simple and made in your blender in just a few minutes.
• Glass: While a milkshake glass is a fun and fancy way to serve this cocktail, any glass will do. A glass with a stem will help it stay cooler longer.
• Garnishes: The simplest form of garnish for this shake is whipped cream, which we love!
• Chilled Glass: A cool glass will keep your milkshake colder long and prevent it from melting too quickly.
