Grasshopper

From Menu #3:

This is either a drink you love or hate. I happen to love it. This is a fantastic after dinner drink as it is essentially dessert in a glass. 

To be honest, I actually find the original recipe of to be bit harsh with the mint flavor. It tastes artificial, like a piece of spearmint gum. To cut the mint, I use a 1/4 oz of vanilla liqueur, which works perfectly in this drink. 

The Grasshopper recipe:

• 1 oz Creme de Menthe

• 1 oz Creme de Cacao (white)

• 1.5 oz Heavy Cream

• .25 oz vanilla liqueur

• Garnish: shaved dark chocolate

Add your ingredients to a cocktail shaker with ice and shake hard for 20 seconds. Double strain into a chilled cocktail coupe and garnish.
