It's a hearty, rich, sweet, and creamy mint flavored drink mainly enjoyed post-dinner. A blend of delicious mint flavor and the thick creamy layers makes it the ultimate cocktail drink to relish at all times. The bright green color is quite captivating which makes it all the more adorable in look and eye-catching enough to have more than just a sip.  

So here’s how you can make this cocktail at the comfort of your home with us. Experience the taste you never did.  

Ingredients-

  1. 30ml crème de menthe (green) 
  2. 30ml crème de cacao (white) 
  3. 20ml heavy whipped cream 
  4. Mint sprig  
  5. 10ml sugar syrup ( optional)

Method for preparation-  

  1. Take a shaker filled with ice cubes and combine all the ingredients together starting with first pouring the sugar syrup and heavy cream. Add some mint leaves in the base.  
  2. Then combine the rest of the ingredients together and shake vigorously until you get a smooth mixture. 
  3. Double strain into a chilled coupe/martini glass or any other fancy-looking glass.  
  4. There you are! Grasshopper is ready to drink and relish.

So go ahead and make one quickly. Make sure to leave some room in your tummy so that you can feel extra delightful with this classic post-dinner drink.
