Description

The Frozen Grasshopper is the blended, ice cream-laden evolution of the classic Grasshopper cocktail, which is widely credited to Philibert Guichet of Tujague's restaurant in New Orleans, who entered it in a 1918 New York City cocktail competition. While the original shaken version gained popularity in the 1950s and 60s, the frozen adaptation became a beloved fixture of Midwestern supper clubs — particularly in Wisconsin and Minnesota — where it is served as a rich after-dinner treat. Blending vanilla ice cream with green crème de menthe and white crème de cacao creates a thick, milkshake-like dessert cocktail with cool peppermint up front, a silky chocolate mid-palate, and a sweet creamy finish. Its vivid green color makes it a natural fit for St. Patrick's Day and holiday gatherings.
