The Grasshopper cocktail is a sweet, mint-flavored after-dinner drink. The name of the drink derives from its green color, which comes from the crème de menthe. The Grasshopper was first concocted in 1918 at the bar in Tujague's, the second oldest restaurant in New Orleans, Louisiana. It gained more widespread popularity in the 1950s and 1960s. The drink is said to have been named after the winner of a contest held at Tujague's. Despite its dessert-like flavors, the Grasshopper is indeed a cocktail and not a milkshake or other type of dessert.
