History

The Shamrock Shake was first introduced in 1970. The original shake was a lemon/lime flavored green shake that did not contain any mint flavoring. The mint flavoring was added in 1973, and the shake has remained largely the same since then.

Description

Cultural Impact

The Shamrock Shake has become a cultural icon in the United States, with many people looking forward to its annual return. The shake has also been the subject of numerous internet memes and social media campaigns.
