An elderly friend died last year and among other things I inherited a couple of bottles of Creme de Menthe. For anyone unfamiliar, it's bright green and very minty -- 60 proof / 30% alcohol by volume. I'm not a regular drinker, and I am one of those weirdos that believes in waste-not, want-not, so I felt obligated to find a way to (slowly) consume it. My eventual choice was to pour a shot or two over a bowl of chocolate ice cream -- not bad, compare to mint chocolate-chip ice cream, with a little kick.
Any other suggestions?

Creme de Menthe is a generic liqueur, so no, it's not.

It's also a shitty Liqueur, so if SN is advertising it, then it would be like back when Slashdot advertised Packt Publishing.
My first suggestion would be to sell it to desperate high school kids, because they're the only ones who would willingly drink that shit.
Failing that, I'd use it to Irish up my Irish Coffee a little more. Irish coffees are a fantastic way to cap off the Thanksgiving night with pumpkin or pecan pie topped with french vanilla ice cream, and the Irish coffee will keep you warm and cozy until bedtime.

When I was in the Navy, I'd drink the stuff. I drank anything, if some chick recommended it. The hotter the chick, the more ridiculous stuff I'd drink. Today - blehhh. I'll stick with a beer now and then, or a shot of Scotch whiskey. The AC who thinks you're stupid is only about fifty times stupider than you.
