Tempus Fugit Crème De Menthe is crafted using a 19th-century recipe that calls for distilling fresh mint leaves in neutral grape spirits, then blending this essence with additional mint extracts and pure cane sugar. What sets this liqueur apart is its commitment to using only natural ingredients and traditional methods, resulting in a vibrant, authentic mint flavor that's worlds away from the artificial green versions commonly found on liquor store shelves.

Tempus Fugit's Crème de Menthe is made using a 19th-century recipe that includes over 50 different botanicals, creating a complex flavor profile that goes far beyond simple mint.

Unlike many modern green-colored crème de menthe liqueurs, Tempus Fugit's version is naturally clear. Its color comes solely from the maceration of fresh mint leaves, not artificial coloring.

The mint used in Tempus Fugit Crème de Menthe is harvested from a specific plot in Mitcham, England, famous for producing the world's most prized peppermint since the 18th century.
