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).]

    "pile of vomit that smells of mint."

    I had a girlfriend once who took a bottle of Goldschlager to a Halloween party. Nobody else could stomach more than a joke shot of the stuff, so she wound up drinking most of the bottle herself. She spent most of the night projectile vomiting sparkly gold-flecked spew all over the bathroom. It was oddly beautiful, in a Jackson Pollock kind of way.
