Since 1970, this special menu item has graced us with its annual presence for a limited time, and there's no specifics on how long the Shamrock Shake will stick around this time. Considering St. Patrick's Day is March 17th, it stands to reason we'll have the opportunity to get in on some of that minty-vanilla goodness for well over a month.

I cannot emphasize just how much I love Shamrock Shakes. They're so unhealthy and definitely not cheap, but I don't care. Slurping down that think green treat puts a smile on my face from ear to ear every time. Nothing else comes close to the perfection found in that little McCafe cup this time of year. I can never get enough of them; the moment I finish one I'm looking forward to my next.

So, if you're a fan of Shamrock Shakes like me, it's go time!
