Espresso Grasshopper
Spring 2026
This twist calls for a little espresso and half the cream of traditional recipes, which helps dial back the sweetness and heaviness of the original.
Makes 2 drinks
2 oz white crème de cacao
2 oz green crème de menthe
2 oz whipping cream
2 oz fresh espresso, cooled
6 espresso beans
1. Add white crème de cacao, green crème de menthe and whipping cream to an ice-filled cocktail shaker and shake vigorously for 90 seconds. Pour evenly into two chilled Nick & Nora coupes.
2. Making sure to get as much of the frothy crema as possible, gently spoon the espresso on top of each drink, so that the crema is a float and the coffee gently sinks down to form a layer just underneath the surface of the drink. Garnish each with espresso beans.
