If there’s a pint mint ice cream in your freezer, this recipe for an old-fashioned Grasshopper Cocktail will definitely make a Lasting Impression. This dreamy after dinner drink is pure pleasure with every cocoa-minty sip. For decades, the Grasshopper was a Wisconsin supper club staple, made with blended ice cream. It’s perfect because it’s sweet but not too sweet. Using equal parts green crème de menthe, crème de cacao, and cream; everything is shaken until frothy and served in your fanciest martini glass with chocolate shavings or a cocoa dusted rim. I hope you will give it a try! Cheers!
