Chocolate mint shake: Perfect for a spring kids party

Spring is so close and kids are going to want outdoor parties and colourful snacks and drinks. Two of the world’s favourite drinks for kids is a milkshake and we love the chocolate ones, don’t we? Some kids and parents also like a mint shake, so we’ve combined them into one tasty drink made all from scratch, except for the ice cream. There’s no powder in this milkshake and you can have so much fun with the decorations too, as well as which way you want the flavour to swing.

Chocolate mint shake suggestions

Not only will the milkshake have the peppermint and chocolate syrup in the dairy mixture, but if they have spouts, drizzle some along the inside of the glass with cool patterns before adding the blended milkshake. You can also enhance any flavour you want with the ice cream you use, like chocolate, mint or vanilla if you want to balance it out a bit more. Some whipped cream and chocolate or rainbow sprinkles go a long way when it comes to decorations too.
