The fruit liqueurs are noted for their pure and intense characracter that capture the real essence of the fruit. Their rich aroma make them very versatile and they can be drunk neat, over ice, in cocktails or poured on ice creams, pastries etc.

Crème de Menthe Verte is a signature product for Massenez.  Smooth and elegant with the intense freshness of mint and sweet taste of sugar. True to the original plant, the nose is well-balanced with fresh mint and a sweetness that rounds out the flavour.  The initial sensation is one of sweetness, followed by fresh mint and a final crisp note.  The finish is fresh, sweet and bright.
