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).]

    Yes, I'm sure to the Creme de Menthe people we're exactly their target audience.

    Before you know it there'll be articles extolling the benefits of the Corby trouser press or how cod liver oil is used to lubricate rocket parts.

      If Marty ended up eating it with ice cream, then that's probably the exact effect he got. The booze/dairy combination is not very kind on the stomach, despite what the marketing department of Kahlua might tell you.

        Never heard of anyone having problems after drinking spiked eggnog, which is also booze/dairy. Do you have a reference, or just personal experience...?

    Well, I've never seen a cod get stuck inside of a rocket engine, have you?
