The Grasshopper is April 19th Drink of the Day!!
This is a very light alcohol content drink that you can enjoy sipping without getting too out of control. It’s funny, but this was actually the first drink I ordered at a bar. I was underage with a great fake ID at the time, and had no clue what I was doing. The bartender seemed somewhat perterbed that I ordered it and, since it was before I got into the occupation myself, didn’t understand why. At this particular joint, they made this as an ice cream drink. Something that is not neccessary, nor recommended if you work in a hustling establishment. Today, I am introducing the chilled and up version. With the cream, and the shaking involved, there really is no reason for it to be a frozen cocktail. But, then again, it’s all up to you, the consumer on how you want this done.
If this drink is done properly, you will have a minty chocolate cream drink that you will probably only drink one of. Yes, another one of those dessert cocktails. A perfect after-dinner drink that will finish up fulfilling your need and your tummy. Don’t mind the mess on the video. Kind of got a little carried away with the shaking on this one.
3/4 oz. Green Creme de Menthe
3/4 oz. White (Clear) Creme de Cacao
1 oz. Half and Half
Method: Pour all ingredients into a shaker glass filled with ice. Shake for a few seconds, then strain into a chilled cocktail glass.
