The story behind
The Grasshopper reached its peak popularity in the 1950s and 60s as the ultimate sweet after-dinner drink. As seen in the image, it features a vibrant pastel green hue and a silky texture achieved by shaking it with cream. Traditionally served in a martini or coupe glass, it evokes a sophisticated retro aesthetic. The garnish of a fresh mint leaf in the center highlights its aromatic profile.
