McDonald’s has announced the arrival of the Shamrock Shake, a limited-edition peppermint-flavoured milkshake, set to hit UK menus for the first time next month.
When Will the Shamrock Shake Be Available?
- The Shamrock Shake will launch in UK McDonald’s restaurants on Wednesday, March 12.
- The shake will only be available for two weeks, ending on Tuesday, March 29.
- Once it’s gone, it’s gone, according to McDonald’s.
What Is the Shamrock Shake?
The Shamrock Shake features:
Peppermint-flavoured syrup blended with McDonald’s classic creamy milkshake base.
A green, festive appearance, making it a popular seasonal choice.
Though new to UK customers, the Shamrock Shake has been a fan favourite in other countries, particularly in the United States, where it is launched annually to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day.
How Much Will It Cost?
McDonald’s has not yet confirmed the official price of the Shamrock Shake in the UK. However, it is expected to be priced similarly to other McDonald’s milkshakes.
Supporting Charity with Every Purchase
McDonald’s UK has announced that for every Shamrock Shake sold, 20p will be donated to Ronald McDonald House Charities UK.
The charity provides free accommodation to families with children receiving hospital treatment, offering a “home away from home” during difficult times.
McDonald’s Expanding Its Milkshake Range
The Shamrock Shake follows the success of last year’s Grimace Shake, which featured a blueberry-flavoured syrup and gained popularity before being removed from UK menus.
Final Chance to Try It
Fans of McDonald’s limited-edition drinks should act fast, as the Shamrock Shake will only be available for two weeks.
Available from March 12 – March 29 in participating UK restaurants.
