CREME DE MENTHE Meaning and
Definition
-
Creme de Menthe refers to a sweet and mint-flavored liqueur that is typically bright green in color. The name "Creme de Menthe" translates to "cream of mint" because of its creamy, smooth texture and robust minty taste. This liqueur is made by infusing fresh mint leaves or dried mint with alcohol, typically a neutral spirit, and then adding sugar or syrup to enhance the sweetness. Often, the mixture is left to steep for a period of time to allow the flavors to meld together, resulting in a delightful balance between the mint and the sweetness.
Creme de Menthe is commonly used in a variety of cocktails and mixed drinks, offering a refreshing burst of mint flavor. It is versatile, often used to add a vibrant green hue to drinks or as a topping for desserts like ice cream or cakes. This liqueur is also enjoyed on its own, served chilled as an after-dinner digestif.
While the bright green variety is the most well-known, Creme de Menthe can also be found in a clear or colorless version, often referred to as "white" or "silver" Creme de Menthe. This variation provides the same minty essence without imparting a green tint, allowing for versatility in drink and dessert recipes.
