More than a month before St. Patrick's Day, McDonald's popular minty shake is back at participating locations nationwide, the Oak Brook, Ill.-based fast-food chain announced.
The drink is slated to stick around for a week after the traditional Irish holiday through March 24, while supplies last.
The holiday shake has been a seasonal tradition for nearly 50 years and debuted in 1970. The light green drink is made with vanilla soft-serve ice cream, minty syrup and whipped topping.
Like other seasonal drinks, the Shamrock Shake has a fan following and eager devotees took to social media to voice their excitement.

"Hi @McDonalds I'm overly excited and impatiently waiting for my first #ShamrockShake of 2019 I CANNOT WAIT ANY LONGER," Twitter user @pacificeve tweeted to the company Thursday.
But since the shake is not rolling out to all locations, not everyone will be lucky enough to find it.
OMG IT'S TIME!!! #ShamrockShake

For the second year, McDonald's has added a "Shamrock Shake Finder" to its mobile app to help track down the coveted drink. Enter your zip code on the shake finder to find participation locations. Also search for a location at www.mcdfinder.com.
The next McDonald's limited item launches Wednesday when McCafé Donuts Sticks join the breakfast menu.
After a disappointing winter with no eggnog shakes, I'm happy to see spring will not suck. #ShamrockShakepic.twitter.com/07NvTuvS37
