The Shamrock Shake

[IrezumiKiss]

Much like the McRib, you probably ingested as many of these as you could while they were available in their annual limited lifespan. I downed these like water when I was a kiddo.

However, some of us are no longer kids with a sweet tooth for industrial green dye. We need certain...upgrades as adults. Much like the McRib, you're better off making them homemade, IMO.

because booze.

Getting verrrrry tempted to make one in the off-season!

I've never had one.

Well not one of those Shamrock Shakes, at any rate.

I've never had a shamrock shake but your boozy versions look good.

They are hard to make because when you squeeze a leprechaun, the little bastards squeal.

And that's if you even manage to catch one.

 

[parodyluvr75]

They're made from real leprechauns?

Never mind.

 

[pointless]

they tasted better when i was a kid and that's not nostalgia goggles. it's a fact. they were more minty. they're still good, but i miss the extra mint. luckily, vanilla shakes are a favorite, so the current vanilla and mint mix will do.

egg nog shakes are also awesome.

Well, speak for yourself, Zumi. Green drinks from McD's were a big nooooooo for me even as a kid. (On the other hand I was never that fond of the McRib either. Data point. Always preferred ribs that contained bones.)

I could maybe get down with the liquored-up versions, though thus far the only remotely greeny drinks I've been partial to as an adult were either smoothies or mojitos. I have admittedly always wondered how vodka would taste in a wheatgrass smoothie.

Well, as a kid, you don't really care what you put in you as long as it's tasty and fun-looking. That green stuff never registered as "bad" to me back then.

Now I realize we just trade up our fun-looking tasty objects of passion and joy as we get older. Through the course of my adulthood, I found lots of better green goodies to imbibe and mix with...

Realizing I haven't had or used Midori in ages. That would make for a killer Shamrock Shake. Might have to adjust my home dinner plans for tonight, now!

 

[pointless]

you've obviously never had green ketchup.

 

[CyranoJ]

When I was a kid, "green" (unless it was peas or lettuce) automatically meant "snot." It was a battle even to get me to eat Brussels sprouts.

The Midori liqeur looks interesting, though.

 

[neci]

my mom used to keep midori in her liquor cabinet. i don't think i've ever had it as an adult. layer in a shot with peppermint schnapps and cream. oh man.

I want a couple of boozy ones and then post on Lit. Drunk pink is fun.

The Shamrock Shake is much worthier of a thread than the McRib.

Amen to that.

*pours you a drink*

Really?

Tis true. I get REALLY friendly.

bullshit. that's a truffle shuffle.

fucking false goonies make me sick.

The act of a truffle shuffle is instrumental to making a shamrock shake.

 

[IrezumiKiss]

The Shamrock Shake is much worthier of a thread than the McRib.

The two items themselves go hand in hand, though.

Or would, if their seasons weren't so far apart from each other. Which is why, boys and girls...ya gotta make yer own at home and have 'em all-year-round!

i'm not buying it, sister. it's time for a goonie purge.

You always seem friendly to me.

You always seem friendly to me.

I'm such a slut.
