Tipsy Grasshopper Cocktail

St. Patrick's Day is right around the corner, so we thought we'd share with you a green cocktail recipe that's THE one you'll want to have in your hand when you're celebrating. (It's THAT good.)

This St. Patrick's Day, we are mixing up Tipsy Grasshoppers in the Harris Sisters' kitchen. We love a sweet drink with a little kick to it, so we thought this festive green one would be just the ticket for the occasion. And if you're a fan of mint and chocolate together, then this drink is for you!

We gathered our ingredients together (and sprinkled a little confetti for good measure). Here's what you'll need to make each drink:

Tipsy Grasshopper

1/2 oz creme de menthe
2 oz white chocolate liqueur
1 oz vodka
gold sugar crystals (to rim glasses)
light corn syrup (to rim glasses)

1. Rim glasses with gold sugar crystals if desired (directions follow).
2. Mix creme de menthe, white chocolate liqueur, and vodka in a shaker with ice and strain into the decorated glass. 

What St. Paddy's Day celebration can be complete without a little gold? If you really want to be fancy, you can rim your glasses with gold sugar crystals like we did. Decorated rims are easier to make than you might think.

How to Rim a Glass

1. Cover the bottom of a medium plate with light corn syrup.
2. Cover the bottom of a different medium-sized plate with gold sugar crystals (or other garnish).
3. Flip your glass upside-down and dip the rim into the syrup on the first plate.
4. Then, dip the sticky rim into the garnish on the second plate to coat.

Cheers! And Happy St. Patrick's Day from The Harris Sisters!
