A Coffee Grasshopper is a variation of the classic Grasshopper cocktail, substituting coffee-flavored brandy for the original's crème de cacao to add a roasted coffee note to the mint-cream profile.
Yes. Use whole milk, half-and-half, or coconut cream as a substitute. The drink will be less rich but still smooth.
Shake with ice for 10–15 seconds to chill and lightly emulsify the cream, then strain into a coupe or rocks glass.
Serve in a chilled coupe glass, cocktail glass, or rocks glass over fresh ice, depending on preference.
You can substitute coffee-flavored brandy with cold brew concentrate and crème de menthe with a mint syrup, though the flavor profile will differ.
