I grew up seeing my great aunt order this drink all the time, and I was always thrilled when she'd give me a little sip. Now I make my own non-dairy version using vanilla rice milk. I usually double the recipe. I plan on trying it soon using soy creamer to make it thicker. Ingredients:
3/4 ounce green creme de menthe |
3/4 ounce white creme de cacao |
3/4 ounce light cream |
crushed ice |
grated chocolate (optional) or mint sprig (optional) |
3/4 ounce green creme de menthe |
3/4 ounce white creme de cacao |
3/4 ounce soymilk (make sure it's bright white in color) or 3/4 ounce vanilla rice milk (make sure it's bright white in color) |
crushed ice |
grated chocolate (make sure it's dairy-free) (optional) or mint sprig (optional) |
Directions:
1. Shake the liqueurs and the cream or non-dairy milk with lots of crushed ice in a cocktail shaker.
2. Strain into a cocktail glass (I like to include some of the ice).
3. Decorate with a little grated chocolate or a mint sprig, if desired.
4. NOTE: Using a blender is a great way to crush the ice.
