The most important tip

My most important trick to make this drink is to shake until it’s cold, but don’t take too long to water it. And surely add whipped cream. You only live once!

Our Grasshopper cocktail recipe is delicious and very easy to make. You can attract your family party guests by whipping a batch of post-meal drinks or simply enjoying your own restaurant at the end of the day. When you’re looking for a fun and festive cocktail in the spring or summer, consider this refreshing buttercream recipe.

This colorful grasshopper recipe is made from Creme de Menthe and White Creme de cacao, which keeps me on my first drink. The whipped cream and grated chocolate give it a little more flavor to dessert, but there is definitely a kick! The speeches are really cute, but the holiday cocktails are not just for the holidays. You can enjoy this year.

About the history of this recipe, born in the United States. New Orleans French Quarter bar (called Tujag’s) claims that its original owner Philip Guichet first invented the classic cocktail in 1918. Whether he really was a first try, Grasshopper was also a beloved southern staple in the 50s and 60s.

Tips and changes

As mentioned at the beginning, shaking this cocktail is one of the most important steps in this recipe. To make sure your grasshopper remains creamy and does not water, be careful not to shake for too long.

If you like this drink but want a low-calorie option, you can easily replace the heavy cream with whole or skim milk in this recipe (although we recommend at least the whole cream, so your grasshopper stays nice and creamy).

You can also try coconut milk, but not the variety canned milk. Pick up a bottle of coconut milk in the refrigerated section of your grocery store.

While we haven’t added it to our water, you can also drizzle chocolate syrup on the whipped cream to make it rot. Did you know that changing the ingredients in grasshopper can actually change the name?

  • For the “flying” grasshopper, use vodka instead of cream.
  • Make a “frozen” grasshopper float with mint or vanilla ice cream.

  • Pour the drink into martini or coupe glass.

Feel free to use whole milk instead of heavy cream. It will greatly reduce calories and not too much flavor. I like using Fairlife whole milk because it has been ultrapurified in a creamy state.
