With St. Patrick’s Day quickly approaching on March 17,  it’s time to scramble to McDonalds for a Shamrock Shake. Alas, the shakes do not last forever because, the chain usually pulls them off the menu after the holiday.  Students are then left to pine for the minty, sugary treat for the next year.
Luckily, though, the Prospector is here to save the day with a recipe to make the shake year round. Who said that one can not enjoy the faux Irish drink in the heat of August, before a Sept. football game or after winter break sleigh ride?
That’s just undemocratic.
