Grasshopper Pie Origin

  Subject: grasshopper pie

  what is the origin of the graaahopper pie. where did the name come from????

Hello Frank,

First, there was a green, mint flavored liqueur named "creme de menthe". Then there was a white, chocolate flavored liqueur named "creme de cacao". Someone thought of mixing these two, adding a little cream, and so created a popular sweet after-dinner cocktail. They named this cocktail a "grasshopper" because of its green color.

Then, somewhere in the southern U.S. in the 1950s, a chef came up with the idea of making a gelatin and whipped cream pie flavored with these same two liqueurs and sporting the same green color. Of course, since it was based on the grasshopper drink and was green, it was named "grasshopper pie."
