Top Shelf Chocolate Mint (B) Liqueur

Top Shelf Chocolate Mint (B) Liqueur is a 50ml Still Spirits Top Shelf liqueur flavouring. With a Liqueur Base B and 40% ABV neutral spirit or vodka it makes 1.125 litres of finished liqueur. Still Spirits describes it as "Refreshing with minty chocolate notes."

What it tastes like

A clear chocolate and mint liqueur, cool on the finish, in the after-dinner mint style. Good cold as a shot, in a grasshopper cocktail, or over vanilla ice cream.

How to make it

Make up the Liqueur Base B as per the pack, add this 50ml bottle and 650ml of 40% ABV neutral spirit or vodka, then top up to 1.125 litres with water. It is ready to pour the same day.

The spirit can be bought vodka or your own neutral spirit off an Air Still Pro or Turbo 500. Because a liqueur is sweet, it is more forgiving of a base spirit than a straight vodka essence is, but a carbon-filtered spirit still gives a cleaner result.

When to choose this one

Choose this over the Creme de Cacao when you want the mint. Uses Base B with 650ml of spirit, so it lands in the middle of the range for sweetness and strength. The full set is on the Top Shelf essences collection.
