Grasshopper

Glass Guide- Cocktail Glass

One of the great things about the Grasshopper is that you can easily experiment with the ratio of the creme de cacao and menthe to find a combination that fits your taste. And whatever that may be, this Martini is a fantastic dessert cocktail and can be served on the rocks for the equally great Peppermint Patty. The suggestion of white and green liqueurs creates a beautiful, pale cream cocktail. However if you use either the brown (cacao) and white(menthe) a drink with a different look is made.

Ingredients:

  • 3/4 oz cream
  • 3/4 oz creme de cacao, white
  • 3/4 oz creme de menthe, green

Preparation:

  1. Pour the ingredients into a cocktail shaker with ice cubes.
  2. Shake well.
  3. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass.
