Hints

  1. All Grasshoppers can be made with regular crème de cacao instead of the blanc version. Both the color and the taste of the cocktail will be slightly different, but they'll still bring chocolate notes to the drink. Note that there's usually a noticeable difference in taste across all brands.

  2. As with most cocktails containing milk, you can alternate between evaporated milk, half-and-half (single cream) and heavy cream here. As you increase the fat content, the cocktail will be creamier and more decadent.
