Green crème de menthe
- Liqueurs
- Alcoholic
Green crème de menthe is a sweet mint liqueur made by flavouring alcohol with mint and sugar; its bright green comes from the leaves or, more often, from added colouring. It tastes essentially the same as the clear white version: fresh, intense and sugary, like a mint sweet. It is the choice when colour matters too, as in the Grasshopper with crème de cacao and cream, and it also appears in the Apotheke and the Mezcalibur.
Used in 3 cocktails.
