Production & Heritage

Jackson Morgan Southern Cream is produced in Gatlinburg, Tennessee, drawing on the tradition of Southern hospitality and homestyle desserts. The Grass Hopper Pie expression blends real dairy cream with natural mint and chocolate flavors, resulting in a rich, dessert-forward profile. Like the rest of the Jackson Morgan range, this bottling is designed to be versatile enough to drink straight from the bottle, over ice, or as a cocktail ingredient — but each flavor in the series is tuned to mirror a specific Southern dessert.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Fresh spearmint rises first, followed by dark chocolate and a subtle sweetness reminiscent of whipped cream. There is a faint herbal quality beneath the confectionery notes.

Taste: The entry is cool and minty, quickly met by a wave of bittersweet chocolate on the mid-palate. Smooth dairy cream holds everything together, with a sweetness that mirrors the custard-like filling of a grasshopper pie rather than becoming cloying.

Finish: Medium in length with lingering mint that fades into cocoa. The cream softens the close, leaving a clean, dessert-like impression.

How to Drink Grass Hopper Pie

Chilled and served straight or over crushed ice is the most direct way to enjoy this liqueur, allowing the mint-chocolate balance to shine. It also works as a cocktail component in several classic and modern drinks:

• Grasshopper Cocktail: A natural fit — replace or supplement crème de menthe and crème de cacao with this cream for a richer, more unified version of the original.
• Mint Chocolate Espresso Martini: Adds a cool mint dimension to the coffee-and-cream backbone, creating a dessert cocktail with genuine depth.
• Boozy Mint Hot Chocolate: Stirred into warm cocoa, the cream melts into the drink and amplifies both the mint and chocolate notes.

Best For

• After-dinner dessert pours at holiday gatherings
• Gifting to someone who enjoys flavored liqueurs and Southern sweets
• Building a dessert cocktail station for parties or bridal showers
• Adding variety to a home bar's cream liqueur selection beyond Irish styles
