Jeffrey morgenthaler’s grasshopper shake
Cocktails
Not many of us have ordered Grasshoppers in the past 40 years, and it's easy to see why: Traditionally, the drink is equal parts cheap crème de menthe, crème de cacao, and heavy cream -- shaken and served in a martini glass -- and is precisely the color of milky Astroturf. Portland bartender Jeffrey Morgenthaler's version is much better, and just what you want on a hot night: creamy, sweet, cooling, bitter, and salty -- all keeping one another in check. Adapted slightly from <strong><a href="http://pepelemokopdx.com/">Pepe Le Moko</a></strong> and <strong><a href="http://www.portlandmonthlymag.com/eat-and-drink/eat-beat/articles/sneak-peek-jeffrey-morgenthaler-s-the-bar-book-may-2014">Portland Monthly Magazine</a></strong>.
