History

Grasshopper is a creamy, minty after-dinner cocktail with a rich history dating back to early 20th century America and New Orleans. Its pastel green color and smooth, sweet character made it a popular dessert drink in the mid-1900s. A nostalgic classic that continues to delight with its refreshing sweetness and minty freshness.
