1-1/4 cups vanilla ice cream
1/2 cup 2% milk
1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract

1 maraschino cherry
Instructions
1Add ingredients to the blender
2Add the ice cream and milk to a blender. Add the peppermint extract and green food coloring.
3Blend the shake
4Blend the ingredients until they're smooth. Editor's Tip: The color should be a bright shade of green; blend in a bit more food coloring if necessary. Give the mixture a taste to see if it's minty enough for you. If not, add another drop or two of peppermint extract.
5Pour and garnish the shake
6Pour the milkshake mixture into a tall, chilled glass. Top it off with whipped cream and a cherry. Add a straw and serve it immediately.
