I’ve also seen mention of adding Kahlua to a Grasshopper, which would impart a subtle vanilla-coffee flavor. Plain vodka or vanilla vodka would both work with the chocolate and mint flavors. Want to make your cocktail even stronger? Turn it into a Flying Grasshopper by adding 1 part vodka. It goes down very, very smooth (don’t say I didn’t warn ya). Give it a whirl and you’ll have a creamy, boozy and incredibly delicious dessert. Grasshopper Milkshake: Turn this cocktail into a milkshake! Add the crème de menthe, crème de cacao, milk, and a few scoops of mint-chip or vanilla ice cream into a blender. Make your Grasshopper extra pretty by adding some of the following garnishes: swirl chocolate sauce into the inside of your glass, top the Grasshopper with whipped cream, chopped Andes candies, chocolate sprinkles, chocolate shavings, or a sprig of fresh mint. Once you have the ingredients you can play around them until you get your perfect cocktail. For example, I prefer 2 parts half and half, 1 part crème de menthe and 1 part crème de cacao. Feel free to adjust the proportions to suit your taste. Pour them into an ice-filled cocktail shaker, give it a few shakes and strain it into a glass. I prefer half and half since it’s slightly less thick and rich, but choose whichever you’d like.Ī traditional Grasshopper recipe uses equal parts crème de menthe, crème de cacao, and cream.
