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).]

    Maybe you could run a comparative study between yeti poo that uses Creme de Menthe vs. Peppermint Schnapps. Study participants can easily be recruited at a nearby freshman dorm (or grocery store parking lot on Friday nights, if you don't have a college nearby.) Chart the results across various axes like "induces regurgitation" or "accidental catatonia." It would probably be the definitive work on the matter that you could shop around for a research grant.

    See? Just takes a little imagination. ;-)
