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).]

    Save all but one bottle for the 28 days later style apocalypse. You never know when that stuff might come in handy!.

    With the remaining bottle.. mix 1:1 it with a cream liqueur - such as baileys (irish) or amarula (south african) - this results in something called a 'springbok' and it is quite enjoyable, since the creme liqueur really smooths out the minty flavour.
