- ¾ cup (180ml) whipping cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract or chocolate extract, optional
- mint extract to taste
- 1 teaspoon green gel food coloring or 2 teaspoons liquid coloring
- whipped cream, candy sprinkles and maraschino cherries for garnish
Instructions
- Scoop ice cream and place inside blender.

- Add in mint extract and vanilla extract (if using) and blend until smooth. (Note: this shake will be thick).

Notes
- For authentic flavor, look for mint extract rather than peppermint extract.
- Add less mint than you think you need. Taste and adjust as needed.
- Add the food coloring a few drops at a time. The green color should be pastel green rather than a dark or deep green.
- Top with whipped cream and sprinkle with green sugar for an authentic look.
- Don’t forget the cherry.
