Creme de Menthe Recipe
- mix ingredients together
- fill glass
Crème de menthe is a very sweet mint-flavored liqueur that is available in both white and green bottlings. While you can drink it straight or on the rocks, crème de menthe is best as a mixer that's used to create an array of delicious minty drinks.
Like other crème liqueurs, crème de menthe is not a creamy liqueur; "crème" refers to a higher amount of sugar used to make it. Ordinarily inexpensive, these liqueurs are not absolutely essential though they are nice to stock in a bar. Crème de menthe is typically bottled at 25 percent alcohol volume, but this can vary from one brand to another.
Ocassion
White crème de menthe is clear in color, and the green is typically a darker green. While the two can be used interchangeably, these color options are important to consider when mixing cocktails and shots. Green crème de menthe is used more often than the white version, and it's the key ingredient for countless green drinks. White crème de menthe is a color-neutral option that's best mixed with brown liquors.
Cheers ! Enjoy your drink !
