Minttu Peppermint is a peppermint-flavored liqueur that brings a brisk, cooling character to the world of spirits and liqueurs. With a pronounced menthol note and lively aroma, it’s designed to deliver pure peppermint intensity in a clear, crisp format. The presence of 40% alcohol gives the spirit a firm backbone that carries the flavor across the palate without being cloying.
On sight the liqueur appears clear and bright, reflecting its concentrated, flavored style. The aroma opens immediately with fresh peppermint, followed by hints of green mint leaf and a subtle sweet edge that frames the menthol lift. This clarity and coolness make it instantly recognizable among mint spirits and peppermint liqueurs.
On the palate the profile is direct: an intense peppermint core softened by a gentle sweetness and the warmth of the spirit. Texture is smooth yet lively, and the balance between mint brightness and alcohol warmth defines its character. The finish is refreshing, with lingering mint coolness that tapers into a light, spirit-driven warmth.
This product suits anyone looking for a pronounced peppermint liqueur for cocktails, dessert pairings, or a chilled after-dinner pour. It performs well as a flavoring element where a clean, menthol note is desired, and it is a versatile choice within the mint-liqueur category.
Tasting notes and character
The nose is dominated by peppermint oil and crushed mint leaves, delivering an immediate sense of freshness and menthol clarity.
Flavour-wise, peppermint is front and centre, supported by a straightforward sweetness that keeps the profile approachable rather than medicinal.
Alcohol presence at 40% provides structure and lift, ensuring the mint character remains prominent from entry through to finish.
Texture feels smooth with a medium-weight mouthfeel; there’s enough body to carry the flavor without heaviness or syrupy cling.
The finish is cool and persistent, leaving a refreshing mint aftertaste that gradually fades to a subtle warming note.
Pairing and serving suggestions
Serve well chilled to accentuate the mint’s crispness and to tame the spirit’s warmth. Cooling the liqueur highlights the menthol character and makes for an invigorating sip.
Pairings that complement the peppermint theme include dark chocolate and cocoa-based desserts, where the cool mint brightens rich, bitter chocolate notes.
Creamy desserts such as vanilla panna cotta, crème brûlée, or ice cream benefit from a splash, where peppermint cuts through richness and refreshes the palate.
Mixing ideas include additions to coffee or hot chocolate for a minty twist, or blending into cream‑based cocktails for layered mint and dairy textures.
It can also be used as a finishing touch in dessert sauces, chilled shooters, or simple après-meal serves where a clear, mint-forward liqueur is desired.
