Grasshopper

Cocktail Description

The Grasshopper is like dessert in a glass—silky, refreshing, and elegantly simple.

This creamy cocktail combines the bright, clean flavor of Tempus Fugit Crème De Menthe with the subtle chocolate notes of Marie Brizard Crème de Cacao White, creating a sophisticated take on the classic mint-chocolate pairing. The addition of cream and milk provides a smooth, luxurious texture that balances the sweetness and softens the mint's cooling sensation. For home bartenders, this drink ranks low on the difficulty scale—just measure, shake, and strain—making it perfect for after-dinner entertaining or holiday gatherings. The Grasshopper shines brightest when served as a digestif following a rich meal, particularly complementing chocolate desserts or coffee service. It also pairs surprisingly well with spicy foods, as its creamy coolness offers a pleasant counterpoint to heat.
