Method
Cocktail
Combine ingredients
In a cocktail shaker, add 1 oz green crème de menthe, 1 oz white crème de cacao, and 1 oz heavy cream (or half-and-half).
Add ice and shake
Fill the shaker with ice (about 1 cup), secure the lid, and shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds until the shaker feels very cold and the mixture is slightly frothy.
Strain
Discard ice or water from the chilled glass if you used ice water. Double-strain the cocktail into the chilled coupe or martini glass using a cocktail strainer (and a fine mesh strainer if you prefer an extra-smooth texture).
Garnish and serve
Garnish with a fresh mint sprig placed on the rim or floated on top. Optionally, lightly grate a little chocolate or dust with cocoa powder over the top for contrast. Serve immediately.
Notes & alternatives
For a boozier variation, increase each liqueur to 1.25 oz and reduce cream to 0.75 oz. For a frozen Grasshopper, combine the same ingredients with 1 cup of ice in a blender and blend until smooth.
