As of last week, the Shamrock Shake has made its return at the Antioch McDonald’s. The Shamrock Shake is a milkshake that returns every year just in time for Saint Patrick’s Day. It is made with vanilla ice cream and mint syrup to give its one-of-a-kind festive flavor.

“They have such a unique flavor,” junior Jacob Ressler said. “I like them a lot.”

Many people wait all year long for the day when the Shamrock Shake returns.

“In 2003, when I was touring with American Family Theater Production of “The Little Mermaid”, the actors playing the crab and the queen — we had a Queen Triton instead of King Triton — dragged us [from] McDonald’s to McDonald’s to McDonald’s looking for the Shamrock Shakes,” English teacher Samuel Worden said.
