What could be better than ice cream and Bailey’s Irish Cream?

An adult milkshake that combines both.

We enjoy this shake for dessert. You can turn it into an ice cream sundae by pouring the Baileys over a dish of ice cream and then topping it with chocolate sauce.

*If you don’t like mint, you can substitute another flavor; but the shake won’t be green. If you substitute vanilla ice cream, you can soften it and mix with green food color; then refreeze to harden before scooping. Or, you can color the milk green for a lighter green color.
