| This is an attractive, creamy and delicious milkshake cocktail! |
Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups mint chocolate chip ice cream (choose a brand that has a green color)
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
1/2 cup unsweetened coconut milk
3 to 4 tablespoons Creme De Menthe
3 to 4 tablespoons White Creme De Cacao
whipped cream for garnish (optional)
fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)
Method:
Add all of the ingredients to a blender container and process until smooth and well mixed. Divide evenly between 4 or 5 small cocktail glasses. If desired garnish each cocktail with a dollop of whipped cream and a fresh mint leaf. Enjoy! Makes 4 or 5 small cocktails.
Notes:
My uncle, Philip Mehan was the inspiration for this cocktail, He really liked the Strawberry Creamsicle spiked milkshake that the Cheesecake Factory restaurant served for many years. He also is very fond of a good "Grasshopper" cocktail. He and my Auntie requested that I create a version of a Grasshopper cocktail that could be served, with or without alcohol, to family on Thanksgiving. I combined aspects of both of the drinks that he likes to create this cocktail. We will pour portions of the mint chocolate chip milkshakes into glasses for the alcohol free servings and the add the liqueurs to the blender for those who would enjoy the spiked version. That way, everyone will have something pretty to drink, before dinner, with the appetizers.
