Since the holidays all start this week, and because I’m a dork, the theme this week is holiday colored drinks. The catch, however, is that I have to make somewhat holiday-appropriate stuff as well. I’m not sure what that means; it was something that was suggested to me by a friend. Let’s see if I can make it through the week! Up first is the Grasshopper – it’s great; it’s like an After 8 mint in a glass.

Grasshopper – Recipe (makes 2 servings):

• 1.5 oz Green Creme de Menthe
• 1.5 oz Godiva White Chocolate Liqueur
• 1 oz Half and Half

Mix all three ingredients in a cocktail shaker (like the one some lucky commenter will win! – shameless plug over) with ice, and strain into two glasses. Rocks/Old fashioned glasses are good for this drink. If you don’t want to shell out for the Godiva brand, white creme de cacao will work just fine as a less expensive replacement. If you’re looking to garnish this drink, top with whipped cream and green sprinkles.
