History
The white version emerged to give bartenders flexibility in creating visually appealing cocktails. It's essential for the classic Grasshopper to achieve its green color and for white-based creamy drinks.
How it’s made
Made identically to brown crème de cacao but heavily filtered to remove all color while preserving flavor. The chocolate and vanilla character remain intact. Some bartenders prefer white for its cleaner appearance in cream cocktails.
