Grasshopper

IBA

Born in New Orleans around 1918 at Tujague's bar, the Grasshopper straddled the line between cocktail and dessert during an era when sweet, cream-based drinks were fashionable after-dinner indulgences. Cool mint and dark chocolate meld into a drink that is unabashedly rich, its vivid green hue as distinctive as its flavor.
