History

Created by yours truly in May 2024 in tribute to the many Grasshoppers made by Robert Diaz (played by Ricky Martin), the closeted bartender hero, for Maxine Dellacorte-Simmons (played by Kristen Wiig) in the Palm Royale period comedy-drama series which premiered on Apple TV+ in March 2024. Maxine is a social climber striving for lofty status in Palm Beach high society via membership of Palm Royale, the town's exclusive country club and Grasshoppers are her cocktail of choice.

Review

A Flying Grasshopper made more befitting of Palm Royale's tasteful extravagance by the addition of minty amaro and blue curaçao.

I was very lucky to have one of these made for me by Simon. I have made the simple Grasshopper at home, which is a bit one dimensional; this is a big step up in depth and nicely balanced. Looking forward to trying one out myself.

I recently had one of these made by Simon too (on the 28th ) - intend to make one for myself tonight.

It was outstanding.

If only I had seen this recipe earlier! Now I‘ll have to wait until (hopefully) Season 3.

We rarely have Creme de Menthe in the house and so substituted Italicus Rosolio di Bergamotto, which worked nicely for us. (Acqua Bianca might also work but we didn't have a bottle of that to hand either.) Perhaps without the Creme de Menthe the colour is more subdued. Anyway, a deliciously kitsch party drink.

I used french white crème de cacao (flavour is something in between dutch white and dark) So I'm not sure if this will fit as well with dutch, but doubling the amount of Curaçao did wonders!
