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).]

  The cake is a lie, as is the Creme d' Methe. I have tried that "submit better stories" routine. It does not work. Ends up being all takyon subs, anyway, or proxy takyon subs, like this one. Now what I hear is that all the young people today are in to absorbing things, um, rectally. [theguardian.com] Learned about it from Gitmo. So, at least you would have minty-fresh flatulence.

  I haven't tried that "submit better stories" routine.

  FTFY
