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).]

    Make hot chocolate (on the stove, for real, not from a packet). Add mint booze to taste.

    Cocoa's good, in particular as winter approaches, but a mocha is the best context, the extra bitterness of the coffee counters that sweetness of the other two components.
