Happy St. Patrick’s Day


St. Patrick’s Day, for the Irish, is usually a day for festive drinking, which is to say not that different from any other day. It’s just on St. Patrick’s Day, you drink wearing green. My immediate plans for celebration involve heading down to McDonald’s to get a Shamrock Shake. I’ll wait until later for a drink. When I was a kid, an anxiously awaited the arrival of the Shamrock Shake every year. I seem to recall for a while it was just a regular vanilla shake with green food coloring in it. Those were disappointing times. But now it’s back to its original goodness. Now that I’m an adult, I’m wondering what a Shamrock Shake would taste like if you added a shot of Jameson’s to it. Hmm.

  1. my guess is that it would taste pretty good, though I’d recommend two shots of Jameson.

    1. Don’t forget to include the recent addition (by McDonalds at least) of whipped cream and a cherry along with that 2nd shot of Jamesons.
