Grasshopper Pie, Grasshopper Milkshake, and Grasshopper drink– the Grasshopper name usually means, to me, that the drink or recipe will taste “Thin-Minty.” No problem with that! A thicker drink, the Grasshopper drink is made with Crème de Menthe, Crème de Cacao, and fresh cream. Basically, the Grasshopper drink is good as a Dessert drink or if you’re only having one girly drink, but with quite a few calories and sucking down heavy cream, I would stop after that. Seriously – you know how they say “beer before liquor, never been sicker. Liquor before beer, you’re in the clear”? Yeah, well cream doesn’t mix well with a ton of beer or liquors in your stomach. We still like the Grasshopper drink, but this recipe is only brought out for special “Girlie drink” occasions.
