Shillelagh Shake

AKA the Wisconsin Supper Club Grasshopper

 

The classic Grasshopper cocktail has roots in New Orleans, but it took our neighbors to the north to popularize the decadent ice-cream-based version. This is an adults only Shamrock Shake that packs the punch of a swift knock on the noggin with a shillelagh (in a good way!). It is, of course, a perfect way to cap your St. Patrick's Day.
