After Eight Cocktail recipe

By Matthew Kimber  31/7/2016

This cocktail is very similar to the famous Grasshopper cocktail. The After Eight is a delicious cocktail using the flavours of DeKuyper Creme de Menthe mixed with chocolate with the kick from a dash of Vodka.

This cocktail is an ideal way to finish a main course and when presented to your guests looks very impressive too.
