Birds chirping and snow melting are all well and good, but the first sign of spring for many is the return of the McDonald’s Shamrock Shake.

The popular minty green milkshake is officially back on the menu, the company confirmed in a Tweet. Thirsty fans can find the creamy confection using a new feature on the McDonald’s mobile app that tracks which restaurant locations are selling the beverage or by using the Shamrock Shake Finder.

For those not in-the-know, Shamrock Shakes — or Shammies — are made by blending McDonald’s vanilla soft serve with minty shamrock shake syrup and topped with whipped cream and a cherry.

Since the beverage debuted in 1970, it has earned an impressive following. More than 6 million Shamrock Shakes have been sold.

Much like the McRib, Shamrock Shakes are only available at McDonalds for a limited time, while supplies last. This year, you can find them through March 24.
