ABV25%
Taste profile
Cooling peppermint aroma over a distinctly sweet body, clean and clear on the finish.
How it's used
Contributing a clear mint accent and sweetness, it is stirred or shaken into the build in small measures, and chosen over the green version whenever a drink needs the mint note without added colour.
Substitutes for Crème de Menthe white
Another mint liqueur carrying the cooling peppermint aroma — including the green version where colour is unimportant; sweetness can be dialled with syrup, but no non-mint ingredient will stand in.
Often confused with
Green crème de menthe
Green crème de menthe is coloured green while the white version is clear; the two share essentially the same flavour and are interchangeable except where the drink's colour matters.
Description
White crème de menthe is flavoured with mint — usually Corsican mint or peppermint — steeped in grain alcohol, then filtered and sweetened; the "white" designation marks the colourless version, distinct only in appearance from the identically flavoured green form.
