De Kuyper Creme de Menthe Green (700 ml)

De Kuyper, founded in 1695 in Schiedam — the Dutch city whose soft, low-mineral water made it the distilling capital of Northern Europe — has produced fruit and botanical liqueurs continuously for over three centuries. Creme de Menthe Green is built on a neutral grain spirit base, macerated and redistilled with peppermint botanicals, then dosed with sugar syrup to the characteristic thick, syrupy texture the crème de designation legally requires (minimum 250 g/L residual sugar under EU liqueur law).

The vivid emerald colour is achieved through food-grade colouring, a deliberate visual cue that distinguishes the green expression from De Kuyper's colourless White variant — both carry identical peppermint flavour profiles at 24% ABV, but the green is the bartender's standard for visual contrast in layered cocktails and dessert applications. Unlike premium single-botanical crèmes, this expression prioritises consistency and mixability over botanical complexity, making it the global on-trade benchmark for the category. At ฿695 for 700 ml, it sits squarely in the professional bar-rail tier.
