Step-by-Step Instructions for Shamrock Shake

Start by garnishing your glasses with a light layer of vanilla frosting around the rim, then dip the frosted rims into colorful sprinkles and set aside.
In a blender, combine the vanilla ice cream, whole milk, liquid green food coloring, and mint extract. Blend on medium speed for about 30 seconds until smooth and creamy.
Pour the Shamrock Shake mixture gently into the prepared glasses, filling each about three-quarters full.
Top each glass with whipped cream and add a maraschino cherry on top for extra visual appeal.
Serve immediately while thick and creamy, enjoying the rich, minty flavor right away.
