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?

If the OP is one for baking, how about making a chocolate (layer) cake, and putting Creme de Menthe in the buttercream frosting?
It wouldn't use it up quickly, but that's no problem. My mother-in-law only recently finished a bottle of banana liqueur that had been knocking around since the 70s, using it to sautée bananas before serving hot with ice cream. She's now moved on to using up a coconut liqueur in the same manner...
