Have you ever visited Ireland 🇮🇪 ? My friends at @thewhistlerwhiskeyus just launched their whiskeys in the United States and are giving away a trip to Ireland in honor of the occasion! Visit the link in my bio to learn more about how to enter! In the meantime, I'll be celebrating myself with a dessert cocktail made from @thewhistlerwhiskeyus's Irish Cream! I’ve always loved the mint and chocolate combination (mint chocolate chip ice cream, thin mints, grasshopper pie), so I decided to create a yummy drink in honor of this tasty combo! Meet the Whistling Grasshopper made with crème de menthe, amaro, and @thewhistlerwhiskeyus Irish Cream! A delicious cocktail with a pale green hue that would be great to serve on St. Patrick's Day, which is actually next week! The Irish Cream has notes of creamy milk chocolate, toffee and a bit of spice brought by the Irish whiskey. It works perfectly in this dessert combo. Whistling Grasshopper ▫️2 oz @thewhistlerwhiskeyus Irish Cream ▫️1 1/2 oz Crème de Menthe ▫️1/2 oz amaro ▫️shaved chocolate ▫️Mint sprig as garnish Add The Whistler Irish Cream, Crème de Menthe and Amaro to a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake vigorously. Strain into a coupe. Top with shaved chocolate and garnish with a mint leave.

This Whistling Grasshopper Irish Cream recipe post was made in partnership with The Whistler Whiskey. Recipe and ideas are my own.

Mint and chocolate is my absolute favorite flavor combination. And what better way to celebrate than by making a cocktail with the two! Plus, my friends at Boann Distillery in Ireland just released their Whistler Whiskey to the United States!

This Grasshopper cocktail is perfect for St. Paddy’s Day, which is coming up soon! But the truth is, you can drink this any day of the year.

And if you aren’t already, definitely follow me on Instagram and Facebook, to make sure you never miss a recipe, get tons of behind the scenes pics of everything I’m shaking up, shooting and enjoying!
