[IMG: Menthe Verte Spearmint Liqueur]

Distillerie Meunier captures the full character of spearmint through both distillation and infusion, creating a depth of aroma and flavor well beyond the pressing of mint leaves. This liqueur highlights the green and earthy character of spearmint which is often used in cocktails, rather than the peppermint typical to creme de menthe. Menthe Verte works anywhere a cocktail calls for simple syrup and mint leaves. It shines in lemonade, iced teas, juleps, and mojitos, and pairs beautifully with melon or cucumber.

[H3] About Distillerie Meunier
[IMG: region map for producer]
Base map data ©2024 Google
For more than 200 years, the house of Charles Meunier has been unique in having Génépy (sometimes spelled Génépi) as its principal focus. Founded in 1809 in Voirons with partner Camille Teisseire, a French politician and producer of ratafias and liqueurs based in Grenoble, they perfected a unique distillate of alpine herbs and wildflowers, leading to the creation of Génépy des Alpes. Still family-owned, today Meunier is led by Edouard and Arthur Modelski and is located in the village of Saint-Quentin-sur-Isère, in the foothills of the Vercours and Chartreuse mountains.
In keeping with its artisan focus and environmental commitment, the house maintains fields of génépy and other plants, at 1800 meters altitude on the Vanoise Massif in neighboring Savoie; by 2025, these fields will serve the entirety of its botanical needs. Likewise, distillation in Charentais alembic pot stills ensure maintains the historic character of its Génépy and other spirits. Full details

[H3] About Floral/Herbal/Amaro Liqueurs
Inhabitants of Europe's mountainous regions have made liqueurs with local flowers and plants for centuries. These include the fragrant, floral crème de violette as well as herbaceous and bitter liqueurs that started out as elixirs to aid indigestion and other ailments. The latter category includes amaro, meaning "bitter," in Italian. While they began as wine-based digestive aids, most modern amari are composed of spirits (usually neutral spirits), a proprietary mix of herbs and botanicals, and sugar or other natural sweetener. Always appropriate neat or with coffee after a meal, floral, herbal and amaro liqueurs also enliven many contemporary and classic cocktails. Full details

[H2] St. Elizabeth Allspice Dram
Austria ➜ Oberosterreich (Jamaica) 22.5% ABV
22.5% ABV
Allspice is a critical element of tropical drinks and cuisine. The berry, called “pimento” in Jamaica, gets its modern name from its flavors of clove, cinnamon, nutmeg, and pepper. St. Elizabeth Allspice Dram is a traditional preparation made with smoky Jamaican pot-still rum. Famous with bourbon in the Lion’s Tail. Use Allspice Dram in rum punches, as the base note of numerous tropical drinks, in mulled wine or the seasoning for sangria. Great with grapefruit or pineapple juice drinks and in coffee.
