Drinking in Style: The Grasshopper

February 28, 2008

A while back a reader recommended that I try this drink. I looked it up in my bartending book, and knew right away that I would love it. Does anyone not love the combination of chocolate and mint together?

Well I finally picked up some green cream de menthe at the store this week, and got to making it! Since I gave up dairy a while back I made mine with soy milk. This drink is so tasty. It is slightly sweet, but not so much that your teeth hurt. Because it is made with liqueurs it doesn’t taste like you are drinking an alcoholic drink at all.

It is so gorgeous too, this cocktail and I had a lovely little photo shoot, while I admired it’s beautiful color. How fun this would be to serve at a cocktail party. A room full of people holding mint green beverages!
