How to mix

1. Add the Kahlúa coffee liqueur, crème de menthe, light cream and ice into a shaker, or any vessel with a lid.
2. Give the ingredients a quick, hard shake (5 - 10 seconds).
3. Strain into a retro martini / cocktail glass.
4. Decorate with a generous helping of chocolate shavings and chocolate sauce (for the rim).
Note: Some people prefer using heavy cream, instead of light cream. That works, too, and makes for a thicker, creamier drink. Why not try both?

Fun fact

This creamy cocktail is a coffee liqueur take on its more famous Grasshopper cousin and best enjoyed after dinner (much like an after-dinner minty treat) – a liquid dessert to top off any feast.
