Enjoy this Boozy Lucky Charms Milkshake for Your St. Patrick’s Day Celebration

Published by

Step up your St. Paddy’s Day in 2023 with this easy, at-home boozy milkshake that will give both a burst of decadence for a full day of festivities and a bit of nostalgia!

What’s better than a Shamrock Shake-inspired drink for the St. Patrick’s Day celebration? A boozy one, of course! And if you’re needing a little extra luck this year, then I definitely recommend getting your hands on this delicious treat featuring everyone’s favorite cereal, Lucky Charms! It’s definitely worth breaking out the blender for.

St. Patrick’s Day is one of those holidays where everyone can join in on the fun, but it’s usually accompanied by dark drafts, green beer, or brightly-colored jello shots that don’t always seem appetizing. That’s where the Lucky Charms Spiked Shake comes into play! Get ready to impress your friends by whipping up this minty milkshake with a touch of booze! 

This shake starts with cereal milk, that goodness after you’re done with your bowl of cereal that usually gets poured down the sink. You can make the cereal milk by soaking the Lucky Charms in milk for 30 minutes or so, letting the marshmallows infuse your milk with nostalgic goodness. Then you blend it up with mint chocolate chip ice cream and Irish whiskey for a boozy treat to sip on during the holiday. 

Feel free to exclude the Irish whiskey for a non-alcoholic option, too! And don’t forget to look the part: Your St. Patrick’s Day outfit and accessories are just as important as your drink, so pair this boozy beverage with these sassy, spring fits in shades of green.
