McDonald’s and other fast food chains always release seasonal items. McDonald’s is one of the biggest fast food franchises to implement this, especially for St. Patrick’s Day. The company released the Grimace shake in July of 2023, and now for the months of February and March, they released the Shamrock Shake. But is it good?
The Shamrock Shake is pretty much just a vanilla shake with some mint syrup in it. Depending on which location you go to, the milkshake will be mixed well, or sometimes it is more separated from the syrup. I have had two to test the shake out, the first one being mixed very quickly and lazily– only having syrup towards the bottom– and the flavor running out pretty quickly. Another one I got was perfectly mixed, with the entire shake being green.
If I were to get a Shamrock Shake again, or were to recommend one, I would tell the buyer that they should get a medium or large shake because of its incredible aftertaste. If you enjoy Thin Mint cookies, then I would recommend this shake. There is also an Oreo version (which I assume would taste better), but for cost effectiveness, the Shamrock Shake is cheaper, being $4.19– cheaper than the Oreo shake by about 50 cents.
Overall, the Shamrock Shake is one of the best fast food drinks you can get, and because of the limited time that it is available, I would go get one as fast as possible. Happy St. Patrick’s Day everyone, and enjoy your Shamrock Shake!
