St Patty’s Day is almost here and I decided to make a family friendly drink this year that everyone would love. I knew I wanted something green and something Irish inspired. After some trial and error, so I came up with this festive Lucky Irish Cream and Pistachio Milkshake ! Creamy pistachio ice cream is blended with milk and poured into a chilled glass drizzled with chocolate Irish Cream flavored syrup then topped with homemade Irish cream whipped cream and fun sprinkles! Lucky for you I’m sharing the recipe below!

I love this creamy gelato!

The color is very light though so you can try a different brand of ice cream or even add a few drops of green food coloring if you want the festive green color more pronounced,
