“The shake wasn’t that good. It was not that minty as the McFlurry. I rate it a 6/10. But the McFlurry was good it tasted like a peppermint pattie candy: 10/10.”- Anayareli Nunez

“I give the McFlurry a 9/10, it was too small for a large, but the shake was a 6/10. It’s good but not great.”- Alexa Almeda

“I personally give the shake a 6/10, it was too minty for me.”- Yessica Gonzalez

The Shamrock Shake usually returns around this time for St. Patrick’s Day. It was originally introduced in 1970. Initially the shake was lemon/lime flavored with a vanilla ice cream, lemon/lime sherbet, and vanilla syrup. By 1973, the shake was a light green colored vanilla shake, removing the lemon/lime sherbet and being replaced with the mint flavoring.
