McDonald’s

Made with creamy vanilla soft serve, blended with Shamrock Shake syrup and topped with a delicious, whipped topping, the Shamrock Shake quickly captured the hearts (and tastebuds) of America when it was first introduced in 1970. And for a twist on this delicious classic, check out the OREO® Shamrock McFlurry, which first debuted in 2020 and comes blended with crushed OREO cookies.

Both minty treats are now available at participating restaurants nationwide for a limited time, while supplies last.  

There are so many ways to celebrate the Irish contributions to the world and to America.
