St. Patrick's Day is nearly here, and while you can stop by your local McDonald's and grab yourself (and your clan) a Shamrock Shake, they're only available for a limited time. Not sure about you, but I find myself craving a McDonald's Shamrock Shake during the fall and winter, but it's never available. So, I did some digging and found a copycat recipe for the Shamrock Shake. My life is forever changed—and yours can be too.

Check out the copycat recipe for the classic McDonald's item below, courtesy of Dinner at the Zoo:
