Grasshopper (Original and Non-Dairy Versions) image

I can't believe this drink isn't posted here! I grew up seeing my great aunt order this drink all the time, and I was always thrilled when she'd give me a little sip. Now I make my own non-dairy version using vanilla rice milk. I usually double the recipe! I plan on trying it soon using soy creamer to make it thicker.

Number Of Ingredients 10

3/4 ounce green creme de menthe
3/4 ounce white Creme de Cacao
3/4 ounce light cream
crushed ice
grated chocolate (optional) or mint sprig (optional)
3/4 ounce green creme de menthe
3/4 ounce white Creme de Cacao
3/4 ounce soymilk (make sure it's bright white in color) or 3/4 ounce vanilla rice milk (make sure it's bright white in color)
crushed ice
grated chocolate (make sure it's dairy-free) (optional) or mint sprig (optional)

Steps:

  • Shake the liqueurs and the cream or non-dairy milk with lots of crushed ice in a cocktail shaker.
  • Strain into a cocktail glass (I like to include some of the ice).
  • Decorate with a little grated chocolate or a mint sprig, if desired.
  • NOTE: Using a blender is a great way to crush the ice.
