Ingredients

  • 2 cups vanilla ice cream (any brand)
  • ¼ cup milk (2%, 1% or whole, your choice)
  • 1 – 2 oz. Torani Crème de Menthe syrup
  • Whipped cream
  • Maraschino cherries

Instructions

  • Add in the ice cream, milk, and Torani syrup into your blender.
  • Taste test. You may decide to adjust the mint syrup, the milk or the ice cream to your liking. If you feel you need more mint flavor, slowly add more of the syrup in. However, keep in mind a little bit of the mint goes a long way. If you want the milkshake thinner, you may want to add more milk.
  • Continue blending if needed.
  • Spoon into the glasses of your choice.
  • Top with your favorite whipped cream and a cherry and enjoy!

Notes

Notes:
In lieu of the Torani, you can use Mint extract. Start with 1 tablespoon of the extract at a time. You may need to also add in food coloring to get the color you are looking for. That is the bonus of using the crème de menthe syrup. It is already green, so no food coloring needed!
