Herbal AfterDinner Creamy

O Midnight Mint é um coquetel cremoso no estilo sobremesa que combina Baileys Irish Cream, Crème de Menthe branco e creme duplo, agitado e coado em uma taça com borda de açúcar opcionalmente polvilhada com chocolate. O Crème de Menthe branco fornece um sabor de menta fresco e limpo que contrasta com a riqueza do Baileys e do creme. É uma popular bebida pós-jantar para os entusiastas de coquetéis doces.

History & Origins

Midnight Mint belongs to a family of creamy liqueur cocktails that emerged in the late 20th century following the commercial introduction of Irish cream liqueurs like Baileys in 1974. The combination of mint and chocolate cream flavours draws on a long confectionery tradition. The specific recipe's origin is disputed, though it appears in bartending guides from the 1980s and 1990s.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Cool peppermint and sweet Irish cream with a hint of vanilla. Palate: Silky and rich with a prominent mint freshness balanced by the creamy sweetness of Baileys and double cream. Finish: Smooth and lingering, with a gentle mint coolness and a chocolate undertone from any cocoa garnish.

Pro Tip

Dip the cocktail glass rim in sugar syrup and then in chocolate flakes before shaking, so the garnish adheres perfectly and adds texture to every sip.
