Production & Heritage

Jackson Morgan Southern Cream is produced by Spirits of Tennessee, LLC, at their facility in Fayetteville, Tennessee. The base spirit combines locally distilled Tennessee whiskey with grain neutral spirits, which is then infused with natural mint and chocolate flavoring elements before being blended with real dairy cream sourced from Creamy Creations in upstate New York. This commitment to genuine dairy — rather than artificial thickeners or generic inputs — sets the line apart from many mass-market cream liqueurs. The Grass Hopper Pie expression is bottled at 30 proof and sits within a broader lineup of dessert-inspired Southern Cream variants.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Fresh spearmint leads immediately, followed by layers of dark chocolate and a subtle whipped-cream sweetness. A faint herbal quality lingers beneath the confectionery notes, adding slight complexity.

Taste: The entry is cool and distinctly minty, quickly met by a wave of bittersweet chocolate across the mid-palate. Smooth dairy cream holds the flavors together, and the sweetness mirrors the custard-like filling of a grasshopper pie without becoming cloying. The balance between mint brightness and cocoa depth stays consistent through each sip.

Finish: Medium in length, with lingering mint that gradually fades into soft cocoa. The cream rounds out the close, leaving a clean, dessert-like impression that invites another taste.

How to Drink Grass Hopper Pie

Served chilled and neat, this cream liqueur delivers its full dessert character with minimal fuss — pour it cold straight from the refrigerator. It also works well over ice, where slight dilution opens up the chocolate notes. Beyond sipping, it shines in three cocktails: a Grasshopper, where it replaces crème de menthe and cream in a single pour for a simplified riff on the classic; a Mint Chocolate Martini, shaken with vodka for a dessert-course cocktail with real body; and a Frozen Mudslide, blended with ice and a splash of coffee liqueur to amplify the cocoa backbone.

Best For

• Serving as a dessert course replacement at a dinner party
• Gifting to someone who enjoys mint-chocolate flavors
• Building low-proof after-dinner cocktails
• Adding to coffee or hot chocolate on cool evenings

Why Grass Hopper Pie?

What separates this expression from the crowded cream liqueur shelf is its insistence on real dairy cream from a named source — Creamy Creations in upstate New York — paired with a Tennessee whiskey base that gives it a distinctly American character.
