The Grasshopper Cocktail is a creamy, mint-flavored dessert drink blending Crème de Menthe and Crème de Cacao with vanilla ice cream.

  • Total Time: 5 minutes
  • Yield: 1 serving

Ingredients

Liquids and Spirits

  • 1 ounce Crème de Menthe
  • 1 ounce Crème de Cacao

Dairy

  • 1 1/2 cups vanilla ice cream

Optional Garnishes

  • Chocolate syrup
  • Whipped cream
  • Chocolate curls

Instructions

  1. Blend the Ingredients: Combine the Crème de Menthe, Crème de Cacao, and vanilla ice cream in a blender. Blend until the mixture reaches a smooth, milkshake-like consistency, ensuring the ice cream is fully incorporated with the liqueurs.
  2. Serve: Pour the blended cocktail into a chilled glass to maintain its creamy temperature and texture.
  3. Garnish and Enjoy: Optionally, decorate your Grasshopper Cocktail with chocolate syrup drizzled on top, a generous swirl of whipped cream, and chocolate curls for an elegant and tasty presentation.

Notes

  • For a thicker texture, use less ice cream or freeze the glass before pouring.
  • Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of Crème de Cacao or by adding a little sugar if desired.
  • The cocktail contains alcohol; serve responsibly.
  • Chocolate curls can be made by shaving a chocolate bar or purchased pre-made.
  • Can be made non-alcoholic by substituting liqueurs with peppermint and chocolate syrups.
