The beauty of St. Patrick’s Day, everyone joins in the fun…Irish or not. And while just about everything turns green on the 17th, I’m thinking that a green shake with a green and white paper straw sounds like too much fun to pass up!
Wondering how to make your own Shamrock Shake? No worries, we’ll tell you how:
Throw in your blender 2 cups of vanilla ice cream, pour in 1 1/4 cups of milk, add a 1/4tsp splash of mint extract and to turn it green about 8 drops of green food coloring. Give it a whir and there you have it. Shamrock shakes for two. And if you’re looking for a grown up version, try mint liquer.
Think green. Think fun. Think Garnish.
Garnish + Enjoy

Clambake season is here and whether you are a New Englander, a Canadian East Coaster, or just pull your lobster from the tank at your local grocery store, think Garnish for your next clambake.
Here are a few suggestions. I picture clambakes as a casual affair. Folks gathered on a beach or in the backyard…copping a squat where they can. It’s a meal that’s meant to be eaten with the hands. Use the large cardboard clamshell (hey, what an appropriate name!) to serve all the fixings of the clambake. When it’s opened, it works as the perfect lap tray, picnic table tray or lounging on the beach blanket tray. The squat bio-pak box would also be a fine idea and it won’t leak. The small soup containers or clear deli containers are a great size for the butter with an opening wide enough to dunk freely and easily.
Serve a batch of lemonade, punch or cocktails in the beverage box and use the white cups for serving. Use the labels to mark everyone’s cups so there’s no confusion. Have some cocktail forks available for pulling out the lobster meat and keep plenty of napkins around as this is one messy meal!
I’m guessing that the majority of us don’t have a beach in our backyard (and if you do, I’m a teensie bit green with envy right now) so I have done some research and found a recipe for a backyard New England Clambake. This is taken from the Food Network. Here goes: (more…)
