Description:
The Grasshopper is a green creamy dessert cocktail usually associated with New Orleans and Tujagues bar. It became especially popular in the mid-20th century. In flavor, it is a soft mix of mint, chocolate, and cream. The drink should be cold and smooth; too much sweetness quickly makes it feel like a liquid dessert rather than a cocktail.
