This five ingredient Mint Cookies and Stout Shake is perfect for St. Patrick’s Day or any other day you’d like! Create your own adult milkshake featuring your favorite stout beer, Irish cream, mint chocolate chip ice cream and chocolate sandwich cookies.
With tomorrow being St. Patrick’s Day and Spring being just around the corner (fingers crossed!), it’s only fitting to share one of my favorite holiday beverages. As our second child was born on St. Patrick’s Day, the holiday has fallen by the wayside. Instead, I find myself baking a birthday cake and wrapping presents. This was the perfect opportunity to create something just for my husband who happens to miss the Irish food I used to make him each year.
This milkshake was inspired by one that I had when I went out with a friend a month or so ago. An adult irish coffee milkshake that although strong, was absolutely delicious. My Mint Cookies and Stout Shake is the combination of so favorites and those that we typically have on hand. Forget the cream de menthe typically found in these types of drinks! I’ve used a mint chocolate chip ice cream to lend a minty, coolness to this shake. Blend in your favorite stout beer, Irish cream and your favorite chocolate sandwich cookies and you’ll be celebrating the luck of the Irish in no time.
