I was a bit unsure about this one as the amount of Crème to menthe is quite high and that usually makes it taste like toothpaste, but rest assured it doesn't. It is minty, but the lemon juice and the Champagne counter it. The gin isn't terribly noticeable as a flavour, but it does make a subtle contribution and binds the flavours together.
Refreshing, light and the more I taste it, the more I am growing to like it.
Recipe
25 ml Birkdale Gin
15 ml Crème de Menthe
10 ml Lime Juice
Champagne
Ice
Add ice to shaker with Gin, crème de menthe and lime juice. Shake and strain into a tall champagne flute. Top up with Champagne.
