It's inspired by McDonald's seasonal wonder of nuclear-green shake engineering, but a little less sweet, a little more minty, and with a LOT more whiskey in it.

vanilla ice cream

milk (we used whole, but low-fat would work too)

Jameson Irish whiskey (two shots, or 6 Tbsp.)

mint extract (don't use "peppermint" extract, which tastes like toothpaste)

–6 drops green + 2 drops yellow food coloring

For mint syrup:

small bunch fresh mint

sugar

water

For garnish:

Whipped cream

Maraschino cherries

Fun drinking straws
