Irish Mint Cream Cocktail Recipe

From Homemade Cream Liqueurs by Dona and Mel Meilach (Contemporary Books, Inc.), for About.com

Irish cream liqueur and creme de menthe subtly blend into a killer cocktail garnished with whipped cream and chocolate.

Prep Time: 2 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 3/4 ounce clear creme de menthe liqueur
  • 1-1/2 ounces Irish cream liqueur
  • Whipped cream
  • Chocolate shavings
  • Kiwifruit slice

Preparation:

Pour clear creme de menthe in bottom of glass. Slowly add Irish cream liqueur down inside of glass to form a second layer. Add whipped cream so it mounds above glass rim. Garnish whipped cream with chocolate shavings. Do not stir; the liqueurs will subtly blend into one another, but keep their distinct tastes as they are consumed. Place kiwifruit slice over edge of glass. Serve with spoon or spoon and straw.

Yield: 1 serving
