NOW THAT’S MINT! NEW SHAMROCK SHAKE ARRIVES IN McDONALD’S UK FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER

• Shamrock Shake will launch in UK McDonald’s restaurants for a limited time from Wednesday, 12^th March – Tuesday, 25^th March
• 20p from participating restaurants will be donated to Ronald McDonald House Charities UK

McDonald’s UK can officially confirm the rumours are true as Shamrock Shake makes its first ever UK debut.

Best of all, participating sales from participating restaurants will donate 20p* from Shamrock Shake sales to Ronald McDonald House Charities UK. McDonald’s is a founding and forever partner of the Charity, which provides free ‘home away from home’ accommodation to families with children in hospital.

But fans will have to get down to McDonald’s as soon as the traffic light turns green, as this iconic milkshake is available for a limited TWO WEEKS ONLY from Wednesday, 12^th March – Tuesday, 25^th March. When it’s gone, it’s gone!

Following on from the success of the sell-out Grimace Shake last year, McDonald’s UK has gone from purple to green! The delicious Shamrock Shake features a peppermint-flavoured syrup blended with a creamy milkshake base – this is a flavour customers can all be in a-green-mint of!

But the fun doesn’t stop there, as don’t forget you can still get your hands on…

Philly Cheese Stack – featuring two succulent beef patties with a cheese sauce, cheese slices, grilled and crispy onions and pickles served in a toasted bun. (Available until 6^th May).

McCrispy® BBQ Smokehouse – 100% chicken breast fillet in a crispy, crunchy coating with a smoky BBQ sauce, cheddar cheese, red onion, and lettuce, all in a delicious sourdough-style sesame topped bun. (Available until 6^th May).

The Katsu Chicken One – includes your choice of crispy or grilled chicken, coated in flavourful katsu sauce, packed with crispy onions, crunchy cucumber, and fresh lettuce - all wrapped in a warm, toasted tortilla. (Available until 17^th June).
