Peppermint Liqueur

Peppermint liqueur is an alcoholic drink with a bold peppermint flavour and a refreshing cooling sensation. It is produced by macerating or distilling mint leaves with added sugar, resulting in a characteristic deep green or clear-coloured spirit. In cocktail culture, it is used in drinks such as the Grasshopper or the Stinger. In baking and confectionery, it is added to chocolate desserts, ice creams, biscuits, or as an aromatic component in chocolate truffles. Its intense mint flavour pairs exceptionally well with chocolate, cream, and citrus. A well-known variety is Crème de menthe.
