This drink is verry good, BUT it can be pathetic if the bartender doesn't make mixed drinks a lot, trust me.

Grasshoppers remind me of Catalina Island. They're so good.

I never even heard of using cream. Use ice cream, very delish.

Hell yeah, very tasty. Tastes like after you use minty mouthwash and swallowed it. It is great. A must try... A++++

Serve it Pousse-cafe!

posted by Christopher @ 03:22AM, 4/13/07

Serve this drink pousse-cafe style (i.e., layered), with the creme de cacao on the bottom, the creme de menthe in the centre layer, and fresh cream on the top. It looks amazing, use it for a wow factor!

Drink for Older Gay Gentlemen

posted by Fred Zeppelin @ 05:57PM, 9/10/07

A couple of gay older men, who happened to be ranchers, were drunk on these and tried to pick me up in a bar in Billings, Montana. I thought, what the hell, and tried a grasshopper. That's as far as it went. Now, whenever I see somebody ordering a grasshopper, I think of those two crusty old louses and it gives me a really icky feeling. But the drink is nice.

Mmm good

The drink is awesome but it depends on the bartender. I had a disgusting grasshopper once and its hard for me to try another since.

Theres no alcohol in creme de menthe and creme de cacao... so adding an oz of vodka would help.
