The Story Behind The Grown-Up Thin Mint
Inspired by the famous Girl Scout Cookie, this Thin Mint cocktail gets its chocolate and butterscotch backbone from a healthy pour of bourbon. The true star of the mix, however, is Vandermint Liqueur, a somewhat obscure, mint-chocolate liqueur from Holland. If you have trouble finding it, a chocolate liqueur can provide similar flavor; but it’s worth seeking out the original.
Mint is the standout herb here, thanks to the Brancamenta. The whipped cream and mint cookie crumbles provide the perfect textural contrast.
Whipped Cream Ingredients
- ¼ cup heavy cream
Whipped Cream Directions
