What is "grasshopper"?

Grasshopper is a classic cocktail that is made with equal parts of crème de menthe, white crème de cacao, and cream. The drink is typically shaken with ice and then strained into a chilled cocktail glass, and it is often garnished with a sprig of fresh mint or a chocolate shaving. Grasshopper is known for its sweet and minty taste, with the crème de menthe providing a cooling and refreshing flavor and the white crème de cacao adding a sweet and chocolatey finish. The cream adds a luxurious and velvety texture to the cocktail, creating a decadent and indulgent drink. Grasshopper can be customized with various types of crème de menthe and crème de cacao, and it can also be made with different types of cream, such as half-and-half or milk, for a lighter and less indulgent version.
