The Grasshopper was first created by bartender Philibert Guichet for a cocktail competition in New York City in 1918. Guichet’s family owned a New Orleans bar called Tujague’s. Guichdt came in second in the competition, brought the drink home and it became a stash hit. Today we’re making the drink as interpreted by Legendary New York City barman Dale DeGroff.
