GRASSHOPPER
1 serving
Jeffrey Morgenthaler, bartender at Clyde Common and Pépé Le Moko in Portland, Oregon, turned this classic into a creamy, frothy Grasshopper Shake: Omit the half-and-half, add ½ cup vanilla ice cream, and process in a blender with 1 cup crushed ice.
Fill a cocktail shaker with ice cubes. Add:
- 1 ounce green crème de menthe (or white crème de menthe and a drop of green food coloring, if desired)
- 1 ounce white crème de cacao
- 1 ounce half-and-half
- (A dash of mint bitters or ½ teaspoon Fernet Branca Menta)
Shake until well chilled, about 12 seconds. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass.
