Creme de menthe

Creme de menthe is a sweet, mint-flavoured liqueur, made by infusing or distilling peppermint or spearmint (or both) in a neutral spirit and sweetening it heavily with sugar. It comes in two styles — a bright, almost luminous green and a clear "white" (colourless) version that taste much the same — and is typically bottled at around 20–25 percent alcohol by volume. It is best known as the cooling backbone of the Grasshopper and the Stinger.
