This fun cocktail is a combination of creme de menthe, creme de cacao, vanilla vodka, in addition to Bailey's Irish Gaelic cream mixed amongst exactly about 1/2-&-1/2 for creaminess. The creme de menthe in addition to creme de cacao plough over this cocktail the mint-chocolate flavor to stand upwardly for that of its classic cookie inspiration.
And creme de menthe also gives it its pretty greenish color, too.
Creme de menthe comes inwards both a greenish version in addition to a clear version. To larn its minty greenish color, brand the cocktail amongst greenish creme de menthe instead of the clear, of course.
But creme de cacao impacts its color, too.
Creme de cacao comes inwards ii color versions, every bit good a nighttime chocolate-brown version in addition to a clear version. When mixing upwardly this Thin Mint cocktail for its photograph shoot, I wondered if you lot could role either color exactly fine.

When it comes to the cocktail's color? I wouldn't consider the ii interchangeable. Not if you lot wishing the minty-green color of the cocktails inwards my photos ... which is achieved using clear creme de cacao.
Here's a comparing of Thin Mint cocktails made amongst each color of creme de cacao:
As you lot tin see, the i on the left is a pretty minty green. It's made amongst clear creme de cacao. The i on the right, made amongst chocolate-brown creme de cacao, is to a greater extent than of a grayish-pea'ish green. The flavor of the ii is the same, but I notice the i on the left to live unappealing inwards its color.
I advise sticking amongst clear creme de cacao to larn its minty greenish hue.
While this cocktail is fabulous for enjoying on whatsoever day, its greenish color in addition to touching of Bailey's Irish Gaelic cream larn inwards exactly perfect for St. Patrick's Day sipping, too.
