Junior Mint (Grasshopper)

Credit: Difford’s Guide

Ingredients

1 oz Tempus Fugit Creme de Cacao
1 oz Tempus Fugit Creme de Menthe Glaciale
1 1/2 oz whole milk
1/2 oz heavy cream


Directions

Shake and strain into a chilled coupe glass.


Notes

I used Simon Difford’s recipe for lightening up this drink from the traditional equal parts creme de menthe, creme de cacao, and heavy cream—above is the equivalent of 1 oz each half and half and whole milk. However, when you upgrade to Tempus Fugit spirits, the old-school grasshopper becomes something much more refined. First you taste pure, fresh mint, creaminess, then sweet chocolate. It’s the cocktail version of a Junior Mint.
