FAQs
Can I make this shake without alcohol?
Yes, simply skip the crème de menthe and vodka, and add a little extra milk if needed to reach your desired consistency. It will still taste great and be kid-friendly.
What can I use if I don’t have crème de menthe?
You can substitute with a few drops of peppermint extract for a minty flavor, but use sparingly as it is more concentrated. Alternatively, double the mint chocolate chip ice cream for extra mint without added liquor.
