Ask Soylent - What to Do With a Bottle of Creme de Menthe

from the alcoholic-mouthwash dept.

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?

[An Anonymous Editor suggested Creme de Menthe Brownies (located at the bottom of the page).]

    God, now I want some crème de menthe with a cod liver oil chaser!

    Damn you monkey-person!

    If Marty ended up eating it with ice cream, then that's probably the exact effect he got. The booze/dairy combination is not very kind on the stomach, despite what the marketing department of Kahlua might tell you.

      > booze/dairy combination is not very kind on the stomach

      Never heard of anyone having problems after drinking spiked eggnog, which is also booze/dairy. Do you have a reference, or just personal experience...?
