HOMEMADE CREME DE MENTHE



Homemade Creme De Menthe image

I was making all kinds of liquers last summer for Christmas gifts and stumbled across this recipe, but I don't remember where I found it. Very yummy- make sure you use a high-quality vodka for a really smooth finish(I found Seagram's Silver to be good quality for a great price). The lower-grade vodkas tend to give it too much of a bite. T

HOMEMADE CREAM DE MENTHE



Homemade Cream De Menthe image

My mom gave me this recipe many years ago. I've used it nearly every year at Christmastime, making gifts for family and friends. I shop all year long for pretty bottles for gift-giving. When I started making it, we lived in North Carolina, where you can buy Everclear, Now, however, we live in Virginia and can get vodka. I use 100 proof and it doesn't seem to affect the outcome at all. Number of servings is a guess and so is the amount of time it takes, as there are many variables in these. Enjoy!

CREME DE MENTHE (LIQUEUR)



Creme De Menthe (Liqueur) image

One of the most popular liqueurs & quite easy to make at home for about 1/3 of the cost. 30% alcohol by volume. No refrigeration needed. Use in drinks such as Flying Grasshoppers, Mexican Grasshoppers, Glacier Mints, Mint Sandwich shots, Mint Chocolate shots, Mint Choc Chip Mind Fucks, Fuzzy Ethans, Eskimo Joes, Everybody's Irish and the Drunken Elf. This recipe calls for either peppermint or spearmint, but I think you actually need a combination of both. Spearmint masks the peppermint somewhat while sweetening and smoothing out the composition, but if you use too much the whole thing tastes like toothpaste.
