How the cocktail tastes
30 Reviews
The cocktail tastes similar to a chocolate mint candy that has been put into a liquid form. The taste is pleasantly sweet and very mild. The alcoholic notes can be tasted but are more noticeable in the background. Perhaps the drink is not to everyone’s taste. Some will find it too sweet. Some just don’t like the combination of chocolate and mint. But it is one of those drinks that reminds you of childhood treats. It’s nostalgic and endearing, beautiful and delicious, and what more could you want from a cocktail?
The Grasshopper Cocktail in detail
The Grasshopper is an old classic drink that is very simple to prepare. This delicious cocktail tastes like a chocolate-mint milkshake. Unfortunately, because of these characteristics, it has fallen a little out of fashion. This drink is said to have been invented by Philip Guichet in Tujague’s Bar. It reached its greatest popularity in the 1950s and 60s, especially in the southeastern USA. Today, the drink is only relatively rarely found on the menus of cocktail bars. Therefore, you should definitely prepare the drink at home and convince yourself of its unique taste.

The ingredients of the Grashopper Cocktail in detail:
Crème de menthe
A sweet liqueur with a mint flavour. Available in white or green, you should definitely choose the green version when preparing this drink. This gives the drink its classic bright colour.
Crème de cacao
A sweet, chocolate-flavoured liqueur. Available in dark or white. For this recipe, we recommend using the white (clear) variety. This allows the green colour of the crème de menthe to come out better.
Cream
The two liqueurs are mixed with cream. Here you can simply use classic cream without paying much attention to anything.
