With a concentrated spearmint aroma, this liqueur has a chocolaty core and plenty of cooling mint, like a mint-chocolate cookie with a moderately bitter edge. Use to sass up a classic Grasshopper or other drinks that call for crème de cacao. Best Buy.
First prepared by 13th century Italian monks as herbal medicines and elixirs, Liqueurs are distilled spirits that have been combined with flavoring agents. A range of herbs, spices, nuts, fruits and flowers can be used, and a sweetener such as sugar or corn syrup is often added. While typically rather sweet, some examples are herbaceous or tart and pair exceptionally well with desserts or act as a delightful addition to cocktails.
