A Grasshopper is a sweet, mint-flavored, after-dinner drink, made with crème de menthe, crème de cacao, and cream. The name of the drink derives from its green color, which comes from the crème de menthe.
A bar in the French Quarter of New Orleans, Louisiana, Tujague's, claims the drink was invented in 1918 by its owner, Philip Guichet. The drink gained popularity during the 1950s and 1960s throughout the American South.
