Equipment

  • cocktail shaker

Ingredients

  • 1 ounce Creme de menthe
  • 1 ounce Creme de cacao
  • 1 ounce heavy whipping cream

Instructions

  • Fill a cocktail shaker with ice.
  • Add all three ingredients.
  • Shake until the shaker feels very cold in your hand.
  • Strain into a chilled coupe glass.
  • Garnish with chocolate shavings and/or fresh mint.

Notes

You can substitute the heavy whipping cream or half and half or a non-dairy creamer if needed. This will result in a slightly less frothy cocktail, but it will still be delicious. 
To make a frozen grasshopper cocktail, substitute the heavy cream for 1 cup vanilla ice cream and blend in a blender instead of a cocktail shaker.
