- Strain into 2 coupe glasses or martini glasses. Garnish with chocolate shavings and a cookie stick for each.1 teaspoon chocolate shavings, 2 chocolate biscuit sticks
Notes
While you can use clear crème de menthe and/or brown crème de cacao, you won't wind up with the proper green color if you skip the green crème de menthe and white crème de cacao.
If you need a non-alcoholic option, use my frozen grasshopper recipe and swap the vanilla ice cream for mint chocolate chip, omitting the booze entirely.
