Time P3DT15m

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 1/4 cups 80-proof vodka
1 1/2 cups fresh mint leaves, unpacked
1 cup water
1 cup granulated sugar

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • In a one-quart jar, pour the vodka and tear the mint leaves as you add them. Shake well to immerse the herbs. Let infuse for 48 hours, shaking once a day.
  • Bring the water to a boil in a small or medium saucepan. Add the sugar and stir until completely dissolved, then reduce to a simmer. After 5 minutes, remove the simple syrup from the heat and let cool completely. If making ahead, refrigerate in a sealed container until ready to blend the liqueur.
  • After 2 days, add the cooled simple syrup to the mint-infused liquor. Shake and infuse for another 24 hours.
  • Strain out the mint using a fine-mesh strainer lined with cheesecloth. Discard the mint and strain one or two more times to remove extra sediment.
  • Funnel the crème de menthe into a 750-milliliter bottle or several smaller bottles.
  • To color the liqueur, add 3 to 5 drops of green food coloring and shake well to incorporate.

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.
