McDonald’s long-awaited harbingers ofspringhave finally arrived!
The shake has the same base as McDonald’s vanilla shake with a mix-in of mint-flavored green syrup.
Having never tried either of these treatsand being IrishI decided it was my duty to give them a taste.

Here’s what I thought of McDonald’s annual homage to St. Patrick’s Day.
It doesn’t hit you over the head with fake color.
The whipped cream was still perched at the top, due to a nice domed lid.

Honestly, the green and mint seem to have more to do with the marketing than the flavor.
It’s not overly sweet and I’m surprised by the subtleness of the mint.
The only I noticed it was in the coolness that slid down my throat after I took a sip.

The cooling action of the mint makes the vanilla more vanilla.
The shake is amazingly thick.
it’s possible for you to pick up the straw and suck it out from the bottom.

The taste:The first bite is all about the cookies.
The Oreos stay crunchy and there is a perfect mix of bigger pieces and smaller bits.
So if you’re able to’t get one just keep trying."
