If you're looking for a sweet way to celebrate St. Patrick's Day, participating Hard Rock Café locations are serving up a decadent St. Paddy’s Shake. Of course, it wouldn't be a St. Patrick's Day drink if this shake didn't come with a little something extra.
From March 13th through 17th, 2019, participating Hard Rock Café restaurants will be offering a St. Paddy’s Shake made from a combination of Absolut Vanilla vodka, vanilla ice cream, crushed Oreo cookies, and a hint of mint. The whole thing is then topped with white chocolate whipped cream, rainbow candy ribbons, and a few gold star sprinkles for good measure.
If the spiked shake weren't enough to draw in the St. Patty's Day crowds, the Hard Rock Café is also offering a mouth-watering Guinness & Bacon Jam Cheeseburger that features a Guinness cheese sauce and Jameson bacon jam.
