Shamrock Shake recipe. Boozy version for adults and a non-alcoholic version for the kids. This tasty drink is a great way to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day.
Shamrocks. Green glitter. Four-leaf clovers. I love St. Patrick’s Day. I grew up in a little town called Emmetsburg, Iowa. With a population of barely 4,000, the town was still conceited enough to call it the “Sister City of Dublin.” As you can tell, our founder was Irish.
Despite being a small town, there is a parade every year. Green beer overflows mugs. Kids gather along the parade route to gather candy. There is a 5K. For a small town, they put on a good celebration.
To help celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, I’ve whipped up Shamrock Shakes. If you’re an adult, feel free to include the Bailey’s Irish Cream. If you’re making this for the kids, skip that.

If you like the glass mug the shake is in, you’re in luck. I got “L” for “Landsberger”, but you can get whichever letter you want. Click here >>>Glass Beer Mug with Pewter Crest <<< to see the one I got. Just do an Amazon search for your letter. (I suggest copying the title, put your letter in, paste in the search bar). Sorry, I tried to get a search to show all the letters, but Amazon wasn’t cooperating.
For the rainbow sprinkles, don’t worry. You don’t have to buy 6 different bottles!
• Get the combo pack <<<click there<<< that includes red, yellow, green, and blue
• Then buy the orange sprinkles and purple sprinkles separately.
Lastly, you can find the St. Patrick’s Day Shamrock straws <<< by clicking there.

I have to admit my husband was out to sea (with the U.S. Navy) when I made these Shamrock Shakes. I couldn’t drink both shakes…but I made a good try at it!
