3 Ingredient Grasshopper Blended Cocktail

One of my favorite parts of the holidays is all of the traditions — old, new or even just beginning. My family is crazy about Christmas, so not surprisingly, we usually begin decorating early to mid November. A tradition that we hold, is that while we decorate the house for Christmas, we always have Grasshoppers. Grasshoppers for us adults are boozy, minty ice cream shakes - and for the kids, green malts. This is one of my favorite traditions, one I look forward to every year.
