Reason #42 to buy an emersion blender. |
I am a sucker for nostalgia, and the day-glo green
Shamrock Shakes of the 1980s hold, for whatever reasons (
nefarious advertising practices and
HFCS?), a place near and dear in my heart.
So I was greatly disappointed when I succumbed to the
marketing hysteria around the Shamrock Shake last March and actually bought one.
It was cloying, sweet and not at all the treat I remembered. Making matters worse,
McDonalds had added a dome lid, whipped cream and a candied cherry - as if to both make a grab at the
Starbucks and the
Dairy Queen demographic at once. The product was relaunched as the "
McCafé Shamrock Shake".
I won't be making that mistake again this year.
Here's the recipe we posted for vegan mint ice cream:
