If you love mint chocolate, then this Drunk Grasshopper is just the cocktail you have been looking for!
This cocktail got its name because of the rich green colour (due to the creme de menthe), and it is sweet, rich, and perfectly minty. It was invented over 100 years ago in New Orleans in Tujague’s Restaurant, have a look at their website, the menu looks amazing. Our recipe has been simplified to make it very easy to try at home. The original recipe called for brandy but this version is lighter and still true to the original.
Ingredients:
- 25ml Creme de Menthe
- 40ml Vodka
- 2tsp White chocolate spread
- Milk to fill
- Chocolate shavings to decorate
Method:
- Put all of the ingredients into your Milk Frother and then top up with the milk to the max mark.
- Press the start button and wait until finished.
- Meanwhile, heat up your glass using hot water from a kettle.
- When your milk frother has finished, empty the water out of the glass and fill with your Hot Cocktail.
- Enjoy your Drunk Grasshopper.
Lucy’s Top Tip: Why not try this with a mix of milk and cream for an even more decadent twist. A Cadbury flake would make a great presentation enhancer.
