Or you can jump on the trendy train and turn your shamrock shake into a shamrock freakshake. Freakshakes are an over-the-top, sugar-packed, hopefully-you-don’t-eat-the-whole-thing, visually fun take on the traditional milkshake.

To create your own St. Patrick’s Day themed freakshake add some green rock candy, chocolate gold coins and any other green candy favorites. Then coat the outside rim of your Solo Clear Cup with vanilla frosting and press on an array of marshmallows. Voila… your St. Patrick’s Day freakshake. Now don’t forget to take a selfie for social because, let’s be honest, that’s really what they’re best for.
