'Patience, young Grasshopper' - I show you how to make a tasty GRASSHOPPER cocktail and a fun twist!

[@Tennisisreallyfun]

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😉

[@BehindtheBar]

He’s a clever one!

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

[@BehindtheBar]

A classic chocolate.

[@genossewurstbrot]

Oh, how did I miss this: the classic Grasshopper is one of my all time favorite drinks! And hats off to the Jiminy Fizz (and its inventor), because I really like Fizz drinks and I'm always looking for good ways to use my white Creme de Cacao. So: yay!

[@BehindtheBar]

So tasty!

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.

[@BehindtheBar]

Oh that’s great info! I’ll have to see if I can find Pisang Ambon.

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.

I like that! Will def try

[@chrisdimal9869]

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.

Nice video thanks Cara . Definitely love the Grass Hopper !

Wow! The Jiminy Fizz sounds amazing!

[@stephane.foisy.186]

Your tattoos look great!

[@BabaORileyII]

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

[@BehindtheBar]

I’ll definitely try and squeeze that in beforehand!

[@sjt4225]

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

[@BehindtheBar]

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

[@ItsMe-fs4df]

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)

[@BehindtheBar]

Hahaha it’s a love it or hate it combo!

[@sundowner62james69]

I sometimes make the standard Grasshopper with a big scoop of ice cream , (no cream or ice )it seems to come out alright , just wondering what you think of that ?

[@BehindtheBar]

I think that sounds delicious! We actually have some ice cream cocktails coming up to watch this space… 🍦

[@sundowner62james69]

Thanks , I first tried it out of necessity. (ran out of cream ) . Looking forward to the ice cream cocktails . :) @@BehindtheBar

[@KateOBrienCreative]

Another curious expanse of black (from 6:45) and then ...some editing glitches?

[@BehindtheBar]

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!

[@KateOBrienCreative]

@@BehindtheBar That worries, I figured you'd want to know asap.

[@frankmartinez4856]
