So, I tried it – all 530 calories of it! McDonald’s Shamrock Shake is the strangestcolor of green – a lighter version of the color lime, the color of washed outgrass, maybe even mushed up shamrocks – not a color that I would normally eat. On top of all the green cream is a big dollopof whipped cream. Before getting to theactual flavor of the shake, I got a mouth full of super sweet vanilla.
Even though in my head I knew a shamrock shake was supposedto be a mint flavor, my tastebuds were expecting lemon lime because of thecolor. So, they were completely confusedwhen the cold green creaminess hit them with a super light mint flavor swirled withcreamy vanilla. In fact, they convincedmy brain it really was lime. I tookanother sip and thought, “how odd – it’s like a lime mint, no just mint, novanilla, no a mint vanilla.” Ipractically inhaled the entire shake through the straw (so it wouldn’t melt, ofcourse!) and I’m still not 100% sure what the flavor really is. I bet it’s better than mushed up shamrocksthough!
