Crème de menthe, meaning “mint cream” in French, is a sweet, peppermint-flavored liqueur. It was originally developed by French pharmacist Émile Giffard in 1885 as a digestif and is still produced today. The liqueur comes in two varieties:

White Crème de Menthe: This version is clear and colorless, obtained from the essential oils of peppermint, specifically the Mitcham type. Despite the name, it does not contain any dairy. The word “crème” refers to its luxurious quality and sugar content.

Green Crème de Menthe: The green version gets its color either from green food coloring or by infusing with mint leaves. Like the white variety, it has a strong minty taste and is typically used in cocktails and desserts.

Here are some ways to enjoy crème de menthe:

Grasshopper Cocktail: A creamy after-dinner drink that combines green crème de menthe with white crème de cacao.

Stinger Cocktail: Made with cognac and the clear mint liqueur.

Springbokkie Shooters: A South African recipe using crème de menthe and Amarula liqueur, representing the colors of the national Rugby team, the Springboks.

Desserts: Crème de menthe adds a desirable minty flavor to recipes like Frozen Grasshopper Pie, an ice cream pie with a soft mint cream color and an Oreo crust.

Whether sipped on its own or mixed into delightful concoctions, crème de menthe brings a wonderfully distinct cool, herbal flavor to the table. Cheers
