5 Types of Shamrock Shake Hit the Hudson Valley

What is one of the signs from the Universe that Spring is on its way? Pitchers and Catchers reporting is one, the other is the return of the Shamrock Shake. This year, McDonald's has added a few different versions to its traditional shake.

In addition to the original Shamrock Shake, the following items will also be available at McDonald's (participation may vary), from a press release:

• Chocolate Shamrock Shake: Vanilla soft serve and chocolate flavored syrup under the original mint flavored Shamrock Shake. Top it off with green sprinkles, whipped topping, and a cherry and it's a match made in Shamrock heaven.

• Shamrock Chocolate Chip Frappé: Made with an indulgent blend of chocolate chips and a hint of coffee, topped with green sprinkles, whipped topping, and tantalizing chocolaty drizzle.

• Shamrock Mocha: Our classic Hot Mocha just got minty. Made with sustainably sourced espresso beans from Rainforest Alliance Certified farms, steamed whole or nonfat milk, mint and mocha flavored syrup, and topped with whipped topping and delicious chocolaty drizzle.

• Shamrock Hot Chocolate: Our delicious Hot Chocolate now with cool mint flavor. Made with steamed whole or nonfat milk, mint and mocha flavored syrup, and topped with whipped topping and chocolaty drizzle.

When was the last time that you had a Shamrock Shake? Can you take or leave them? Do you pass on all foods that are green? Or have you been to McDonald's every day this week, trying to get your fill? Let us know.
