La Crème de Menthe d'Isabelle

Rooted in Quebec folklore, crème de menthe is one of those classics long associated with after-dinner moments and local traditions. It has been making a comeback in recent years, and here is a superb version offered by Les Subversifs, crafted using peppermint grown in Quebec. Its name evokes Isabelle Montour, an 18th-century Métis figure known for her role as a diplomatic interpreter, as well as for her free spirit and strong independence. Carefully balanced to highlight the plant’s freshness without overloading it with sugar, it is delicious on its own and will add a refreshing touch to your cocktails or to a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
