Bols Creme De Menthe 70cl

Cold, sweet mint that behaves in cocktails. This Dutch crème de menthe liqueur is basically instant refreshment, the kind that turns a simple mix into something that tastes like a mint chocolate treat. If your home bar’s missing that bright peppermint punch, this is the fix.

• Nose: Peppermint candy, spearmint leaf, a little vanilla-like sweetness
• Taste: Cooling mint up front, sweet syrupy texture, hints of herbal mint tea and confectionery sugar
• Finish: Long, chilly peppermint linger with a sweet-green freshness

Why it deserves shelf space, it’s a proper “utility player” liqueur. You get bold mint flavour without needing to muddle, steep, or mess around with extracts. One pour and your drink tastes intentional.

It’s also a classic cocktail ingredient for a reason. Think Grasshopper for full-on mint chocolate energy, or a Stinger when you want brandy plus a cool mint snap. It even makes a killer addition to creamy cocktails when you want freshness to cut through richness.

Flavour-wise, it’s not trying to be subtle. The mint is loud, clean, and cooling, and the sweetness rounds it out so it reads like peppermint sweets instead of mouthwash. That balance is exactly why it plays so nicely with chocolate, coffee, cream, and darker spirits.

Reach for it when your drinks need one of two things, a frosty lift or a dessert finish. It’s the quickest way to turn “nice” into “wow, what is in this?”

Fun Fact: Bols is one of the oldest distilling names in the world, dating back to 1575 in Amsterdam.
