Notes
- If you want a 'Skinny' version Grasshopper Martini, use whole milk instead. Your Grasshopper martini will be less thick and creamy, but still wonderfully delicious.
- Costco has great store brand alcohol copycats at great savings, but I have found them to be a little thinner consistency than the originals. For best results, try to use for the branded versions of the alcohol.
