Notes
Here are my top tips for making this:
- Always use good quality ice
- You can use the brown creme de cacao, but it will become a more brownish green color.
- Likewise, you can substitute peppermint schnapps for the green creme de menthe, but it won't retain it's bright green hue.
- For a dessert like drink, use ice cream in place of the half and half
- If you are looking to save calories you can use whole milk in place of half and half
