If you have a bottle of crème de menthe and find yourself with a limited selection of other alcoholic ingredients, you still have some delicious options. Crème de menthe is a versatile mint-flavored liqueur that can be the star of your cocktail with just a couple of other components. Here are a few top-rated suggestions:

1. Grasshopper Cream (Rating: 4.8/5)
This cocktail is an excellent choice if you have some milk, cream, crème de cacao, and coconut cream. The Grasshopper Cream offers a luxurious blend of sweet and minty flavors, reminiscent of a mint-chocolate indulgence. The creamy texture from the milk and cream base is complemented by the chocolate undertones from crème de cacao and the refreshing zing from crème de menthe. This drink is served cold in a cocktail glass and is a sophisticated choice to enjoy after a meal or as a standalone treat.



2. Grasshopper (Rating: 4.78/5)
A classic and simpler option is the Grasshopper, which uses crème de menthe, crème de cacao, and cream. This cocktail has a bright green color and a deliciously creamy and refreshing flavor. It's known for its minty and chocolatey taste, making it a fantastic after-dinner drink. You just need equal parts of each ingredient for a delicious and easy-to-make cocktail.



3. Mint Aero (Rating: 3.94/5)
If you're in the mood for a shot, the Mint Aero is a quick and delightful choice. This visually appealing layered shot combines crème de menthe with Baileys, offering a sweet and minty flavor inspired by the chocolate bar of the same name. This simple yet elegant drink can be a hit at gatherings or for a personal treat.



These cocktails highlight the versatility of crème de menthe and can be made with minimal ingredients. Enjoy experimenting with these refreshing and indulgent drinks!
