CREME DE MENTHE.—A very popular liqueur,
possessing valuable digestive properties. It is made
of wine or grain spirit flavoured with peppermint
and sweetened. When it leaves the still it is
absolutely colourless, and some Creme de Menthe

it is coloured green, and such colouring should be
of pure vegetable matter. This means that if left

some time, green Creme de Menthe will revert to
its original white colour. The original Creme de
Menthe is compounded by Cusenier and marketed
under the name of Freezomint.
