No 550 German chocolate mint

There are so many mints around the world that it was said as early as the 9th century that if you wanted to name all the species, you could immediately know how many fish were swimming in the Red Sea. So let's simplify the subject by just looking at peppermint. Its leaves have long been used by mankind to treat various ailments, including as an antispasmodic. The name of peppermint refers to a certain pungency that is attributed to the high menthol content. Together with the other components of the essential oil, it creates a penetrating, characteristic, pleasantly aromatic odor and an equally pleasant, aromatic, camphor-like taste, initially burning, then leaving a lasting coolness. This can be perceived in a similar way with chocolate mint, which looks very much like chocolate with its black-brown leaf stalks. However, due to the slightly different composition of the essential oil, there are also chocolate-like aromas, so that the overall impression of this spirit is reminiscent of the famous After Eight tablets. Therefore, it is ideal for anything sweet (try it on ice cream!), for refining meat (game!) and fish dishes and, of course, in cocktails. Our favorite variant is plain and simple pure into the glass!
