Creme De Menthe Frappe

Pro tips

• Use crushed or shaved ice rather than cubes for a smoother, more cohesive frappe texture.
• Chill your serving glass in the freezer for 5 minutes before pouring to keep the drink colder longer.
• Blend on high speed for 20–30 seconds until the mixture reaches a consistent slushy consistency; over-blending can thin it out.
• Add a small splash of heavy cream or condensed milk if you prefer a richer, dessert-like mouthfeel.

Substitutions

• Green crème de menthe → white crème de menthe (less color, same minty flavor)
• Whole milk or water → heavy cream or sweetened condensed milk (richer, dessert-style)

Can I make a Crème De Menthe Frappe without alcohol?

Yes. Replace crème de menthe with mint syrup or crème de menthe syrup mixed with water or cream to achieve similar flavor and texture.

What's the difference between a frappe and a regular crème de menthe cocktail?

A frappe is blended with ice until slushy or smooth, while a standard cocktail is typically shaken or stirred and served up or on the rocks.

How thick should the consistency be?

Blend until you reach a smooth, drinkable slushy texture—thick enough to require a straw but pourable into a glass.

Can I prepare this ahead of time?

No. Blend and serve immediately to prevent separation and maintain the ideal frappe consistency.
