Cocktail Description
The Minty White Russian transforms a beloved classic into a refreshing indulgence that brings together creamy richness and cool mint in perfect harmony.
This delightful variation combines smooth Ketel One vodka with the vibrant herbal sweetness of Tempus Fugit Crème De Menthe, all mellowed by the silky texture of cream and milk. The result is a cocktail that tastes like a sophisticated after-dinner mint in liquid form—creamy and rich with a cooling finish that lingers pleasantly. It's surprisingly simple to prepare, requiring just a good shake with ice before straining over crushed ice in a Collins glass, making it accessible even to novice home bartenders. The Minty White Russian shines as an after-dinner treat or dessert replacement, though it's equally at home during holiday gatherings where its festive mint character feels right at home. For food pairings, this cocktail stands up beautifully to chocolate desserts, complementing rather than competing with their richness, but also creates an interesting counterpoint to savory dishes like beef tenderloin or mushroom risotto.
