crème de menthe
Green minty spirit
Crème de menthe is a sweet, mint-flavored liqueur, typically bright green or colorless.
It appears in classic cocktails like the grasshopper and stinger, and is sometimes drizzled over ice cream or used in desserts.
The name is French for "cream of mint," though it contains no dairy: after-dinner crème de menthe, a splash of crème de menthe in the hot chocolate.
