Briottet Liqueur de Menthe Blanche is a (colourless) white mint liqueur made in France by Edmond Briottet. This is a great alternative in cocktails or desserts for green Creme de Menthe if you don’t want any green colouring.
Maison Briottet is a family business, founded in 1836. The current managing director, Gérard Briottet, represents the fourth generation, and maintains the tradition started by his great grandfather, Edmond Briottet. Maison Briottet maintains a very high level of quality. It is the selection of the ripest fruit from the most suitable cultivars that provides for the finest flavours; therefore contracting the right growers to produce the correct fruit is the first step on the ladder. Subsequently, properly observed maceration with very pure neutral alcohol, and blending with the correct proportion of sugars to achieve the balance between fruit flavour, sweetness, acidity and alcohol create these excellent crèmes and liqueurs.
Briottet Liqueur de Menthe Blanche is made by macerating mint leaves, mainly peppermint leaves, prior to sweetening with sugar.
Bottled at a good strength of 24%.
Briottet Liqueur de Menthe Blanche is a clear, colourless liqueur made from the distillation of peppermint leaves. On the nose, it has a bright and refreshing mint aroma. The palate is equally invigorating, with a smooth, cool mint flavor that is perfectly balanced with a touch of sweetness. The finish is clean and crisp, leaving a refreshing aftertaste that lingers on the palate.
A versatile ingredient in cocktails, adding a refreshing mint flavor and a beautiful colorless hue to any drink. It is also delicious sipped on its own as an after-dinner digestif.
Try in a Minty Mule:
Add vodka, Briottet Liqueur de Menthe Blanche, and lime juice to a shaker filled with ice. Shake well and strain into a highball glass filled with ice. Top with ginger beer and garnish with a sprig of fresh mint.
