The old grasshopper from 1919 kind of reminds me about "After eight" chocolate.

A classic chocolate.

Sherry, Cacao, Menthe, Lemon, Egg, Soda, and Orange Blossom. Never in my life would I think of that combination😂 But then again, that is why you guys are the experts and I am the humble customer enjoying the experience😉

He’s a clever one!

My favourite take on the Grasshopper is the Gustings' Grasshopper. Cognac is added to the rest of the ingredients. Richer, but a little less sweet, with the woodiness and fruitiness of the Cognac actually drying things out a little.

Awesome! I'd suggest starting with all equal parts. That works nicely for me, personally, but of course, up the Cognac if you want even more of that flavour. I also find that the Cognac is a great (but expensive) way to smooth out a mediocre green (the radioactive, almost Midori like) Crèmes des Menthes.

A great video, Cara. So many Grasshopper variations... I cannot help sharing that the late musician J. J. Cale wrote his own version in the inner sleeve of his 1982 Grasshopper record. The recipe is: 35 cc Pisang Ambon, 20 cc brandy, 70 cc dry white wine, served with crushed ice. According to him, "its soft, it's sweet, and it hits you like a hammer". I've never tried it nor hadn't found this recipe anywhere else.

Wow! The Jiminy Fizz sounds amazing!

Hi Cara! I'll have to try a grasshopper. Sounds intreging! Ya know, the Kentucky Derby is coming up - still considering the mint julep for our education and enjoyment? CC

Did Kung Fu (the US television series from which the term young "grasshopper" is forever associated) ever air in the UK or Australia?

I think so, it’s definitely part of pop culture parlance here as well although I’ve never actually seen it!

Great vid, yay for more fun things (and then a slightly more serious take on it) 😁 One issue with the video though, chocolate and mint do not go together 🤢 (despite what my husband says)

Huh, that’s so weird! I didn’t notice it when I watched the original file but maybe I just stopped it once I’d checked the recipes and didn’t realise it was there. Will flag with the editor, thank you!
