Why is mint liqueur a good digestif?
🍃 Freshness in the mouth: it cleanses the palate after a heavy meal.
🍸 Moderate alcohol content: around 30–35% vol., it remains light while being aromatic.

Mint liqueur is a spirit made from mint leaves macerated and/or distilled in alcohol, then sweetened to achieve a perfect balance between freshness and sweetness. Very popular as a digestif or in cocktails, it seduces with its intense and natural aromas.

🌿 Ingredients for homemade mint liqueur:
100g fresh mint leaves (spearmint or peppermint, or a mixture of both)
500 ml of 40° neutral alcohol (vodka or fruit alcohol)
250 g of cane sugar
250 ml of water
(Optional): lemon zest or a few eucalyptus leaves for more complexity

👨‍🍳 Preparation steps:
Clean and dry the mint leaves without damaging them.
Macerate the leaves in alcohol in an airtight jar away from light for 10 to 15 days.
Strain the preparation to remove the leaves.
Prepare a sugar syrup (water + sugar heated until dissolved), then let it cool.
Mix the syrup with the flavored alcohol, then let it sit for 1 to 2 weeks before tasting.

👉 You get a homemade liqueur around 25 to 30% vol., to be kept cool, away from light.

Although they share the same main ingredient—mint—mint liqueur and mint syrup are two very different products, both in their composition and their use.

✅ Mint liqueur: an alcoholic drink with powerful aromas

Mint liqueur is a spirit drink made by macerating or distilling mint leaves in alcohol, with added sugar. It typically has an alcohol content of between 25% and 35%, like Michellot's mint liqueur, which is handcrafted in France with peppermint, spearmint, and eucalyptus. It's ideal as a digestif or in cocktails.

✅ Mint syrup: a non-alcoholic drink

Mint syrup, on the other hand, is a sweet, non-alcoholic preparation made from mint extract, water, and sugar. Widely used in refreshing drinks and desserts, it is suitable for both children and adults, but it is not a substitute for liqueur in a cocktail or alcoholic pastry recipe.

📌 Summary of differences:

| Characteristic | Mint liqueur | Mint syrup |
| ---------------- | ------------------------------- | -------------------------------- |
| Alcohol content | Yes (25–35% vol.) | No |
| Use | Digestive, cocktails, pastries | Soft drinks, desserts |
| Taste | More complex, herbaceous, intense | Sweet, lighter |
| Manufacturing | Maceration or distillation | Infusion or flavorings in water |
