Only this sheet prints - the size above is what it is set to.
Ingredients
- 240 ml Crème de menthe - The white one if you can find it; the green gives the drink its famous colour
- 240 ml Crème de cacao - White crème de cacao, for a clean mint-chocolate flavour
- 240 ml Double cream - Or single cream for a lighter drink, or whole milk for a kinder one
- 12 sprigs Mint sprig (optional)
Batch (12 drinks) - about 720 ml of measured ingredients, before ice and dilution.
Timings and per-glass steps are written for one drink and are not scaled. A full jug takes longer to chill, so stir or shake until it is properly cold rather than by the clock, and pour over fresh ice one glass at a time.
Quick version
- Shake equal parts mint, chocolate and cream hard with ice, strain, done.
Method
- Chill a coupe glass.
- Fill a shaker with ice and add the crème de menthe, crème de cacao and cream.
- Shake hard for fifteen seconds, until the tin is properly cold.
- Strain into the chilled glass and rest a mint leaf on the surface.
