Tasting Notes
Identical to white crème de menthe: peppermint, spearmint, menthol, cool, clean. The green color adds nothing to flavor — it's entirely visual. In blind tasting, green and white crème de menthe are indistinguishable. The choice is aesthetic, not gustatory.

The Story
Bright green and intensely minty. The classic after-dinner liqueur that defined mid-century cocktail color.
