Lucky Leprechaun Shake mint green

Best Green Shake Ever!

Nothing finer than a  smooth, green and minty milk shake to top off your St Patrick’s Day festivities…at least when you are a kid!  I love starting traditions around holidays like St Patrick’s Day…for my family, it has been green water in the toilets (because you’ve got to prove that Leprechauns really do exist!)  and serving up a minty green milkshake that the kids look forward to all day!  So have some fun, and start your own traditions with a little help from Cookin’ it Real!
