We have some family in from out of town. They had a long day of travel and were interested in a cocktail to unwind with.
I am not sure I picked the right drink with this one.
A Tom Collins is a drink I enjoy. We have made them in the past.
The biggest difference with the Creme de Menthe. It has a vibrant green color. So that certainly adds a little something to the drink in the appearance.
Unfortunately it also adds a very strong artificial almost, mint flavor.
I am not sure how enjoyable it was. It was drinkable - but barely.
