McDonald’s announces release of new Shamrock Shake
The announcement of the Shamrock Shake launch comes after the release of the Grimace Shake last year.
The Grimace Shake was purple in colour and featured a blueberry flavoured syrup blended with a creamy milkshake base.
This shake is no longer available to buy in the UK as it was only on the menu for a limited time. However, it did return in December after its initial launch in the summer of 2024.
