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?

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.
