Every year around St. Patrick’s Day a box of Lucky Charms falls into my shopping cart. It is a funny thing, most of the year it is granola or healthy fiber filled cereals playing the role of breakfast champion in my house, but not as March approaches! While I am sure there is a leprechaun hanging out at the local grocery store, my decision to take my love of Lucky Charms and combine it with another childhood favorite… an ice cream shake! But, of course, let’s be adult about this, and add some booze for a Boozy Lucky Charm Cereal Shake!
Note: I say the above fully tongue in cheek. The most adult thing to do is to know when and when not to drink alcohol and be safe about imbibing. This drink is absolutely delightful without the alcohol. It is not a low-calorie or low-sugar drink however. It should be an occasional treat!
How to make Cereal Milk
This St. Patrick’s Day Boozy Shake only has a few ingredients but does take a little time to really get it right. The time is to create the “Cereal Milk” ingredient. It is literally the BEST part of cereal as a child… the flavor of the milk after you’ve eaten all the cereal and you’re drinking it up out of the bowl! And, it is an easy step. Simply add the cereal to milk and let it sit in the fridge for a minimum of 30 minutes and up to 4 hours. Strain for use in your shake.
