I had my first grasshopper at lunch with Nicholas McCarthy instead of dessert. It tastes like an After Eight – basically a minty chocolate milkshake. One of you also asked for a crème de menthe cocktail, so here it is.
Ingredients
Serves 2
- 80ml vodka
- 80ml crème de menthe
- 80ml crème de cacao
- 80ml single cream
- Lots of ice
- Mint leaves, to garnish
Method
- It’s all equal parts: put everything in a cocktail shaker with lots of ice.
- Lid on and shake well.
- Strain into glasses and sit a mint leaf on top.
