Notes

All The Shamrock Shakes from McDonald’s made in all three minty ways they’ve released this year! Classic, Chocolate Shamrock Shake and Shamrock Chocolate Chip Frappe.
Let’s investigate the McDonald’s Shamrock Shakes variations:
Original Shamrock Shake: A vanilla shake with mint syrup topped with whipped cream and a cherry. Nice enough (though I always wished there were chocolate chips in it).
Chocolate Shamrock Shake: We are starting to mix things up here. vanilla shake with chocolate syrup mixed in on the bottom half and classic shamrock on top. Add in the whipped cream, and more chocolate syrup on top and things are already starting to look up.
Shamrock Chocolate Chip Frappe: Hands down my favorite one, this “Frappe” has a mocha-caramel shake base, with mint added in topped with more whipped cream and chocolate. The best part about this one is the flavor has much less of a sugar assault on your senses because of the mocha. This was an absolute delight to drink! And hey chocolate chips!
