This is a take on the traditional grasshopper cocktail with a twist. So rich and creamy with the creme de menthe and white creme de cacao....not especially low calorie, but IT'S THE HOLIDAYS!!!!

1 oz Midori melon liqueur
1/2 oz green creme de menthe
1/2 oz white creme de cacao
2 oz half and half
mint leaves and raspberries for garnish

Pour all ingredients into a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake well and strain into a martini glass and garnish with mint and raspberry.


LOVE THE HOLIDAY SEASON!
ENJOY!

Hope everyone had a marvelous Thanksgiving. I certainly did! Now begins all of our Christmas Holiday cocktails...yum! This makes a great pre-dinner cocktail or a perfect after dinner sweet!


3/4 oz berry flavored vodka

3/4 oz peppermint schnapps

3/4 oz white creme de cacao

1/4 oz grenadine

half & half

soda water

candy cane for garnish


In a shaker with ice, combine vodka, schnapps, white creme de cacao and grenadine. You can either crush the candy cane and rim a martini glass with it or hang the cane on the side of the glass as a garnish. Pour the vodka mix into the martini glass, fill with cream and add a splash of soda water.
