History
On St. Paddy's Day 2022, a guest at Drink requested a creamy and minty cocktail. Instead of reaching for the Bailey's, I opted for the heavy cream in the direction of an Alexander. Veering from an Irish Whiskey Alexander, I split the crème de cacao with crème de menthe, and dubbed this one the Irish Grasshopper. With my bottle of Glendalough 7 Year Old Single Malt Irish Whiskey, this creation was a hit that I made a few times that night and once by request later that week.
