DeKuyper Creme de Menthe Green Liqueur 750ml

DeKuyper's roots trace back to 1695 in the Netherlands, where the family distillery has operated for centuries from Schiedam, long regarded as the historic center of Dutch spirits production. Today the brand's flavored liqueur line, including this green crème de menthe, is produced under John DeKuyper & Sons in Kentucky, reflecting how the company's American operations have grown to handle much of its flavored cordial output while the Dutch heritage remains central to its identity.

Green Crème de Menthe is made by infusing real mint leaves, primarily peppermint along with a touch of spearmint character, into a neutral spirit base, following the low-pressure distillation methods DeKuyper uses to preserve fresher botanical flavor rather than a heavier, cooked profile. The infusion is then sweetened heavily, giving the finished liqueur its characteristic syrupy body, and colored a vivid green to distinguish it from the clear version made from the same underlying mint distillate.

DeKuyper Crème de Menthe Green pours a vivid, almost electric green and opens with a bright burst of peppermint and spearmint on the nose. The palate is smooth and notably sweet, coating the tongue with cool menthol freshness that carries through to a clean, refreshing minty finish, making it the standard base for a classic Grasshopper.
