Grasshopper Cocktail Recipe

This Grasshopper Cocktail stays true to the New Orleans-born classic, but with just a hint of cherry brought by the maraschino liqueur. Glancing at the ingredients, you might think this is the grandmother of a Dirty Girl Scout. And yeah—their flavors overlap—but this drink is classy and meant to be sipped after a big meal, not while you’re trying to pay for your college bar tab by showing your boobies.
