        "text": "National Crème de Menthe Day, observed annually on September 15, celebrates the sweet, mint-flavored liqueur used in cocktails and desserts. Crème de menthe is available in green and colorless “white” varieties; despite its name, it contains no cream. The “crème” refers to the sugar that gives the liqueur its syrupy consistency. It is traditionally made by steeping mint leaves in grain alcohol, filtering the mixture, and adding sugar. The Nibble’s overview notes that the green and white varieties have much the same mint flavor, while the colors make them useful in different drinks and recipes.\nCrème de menthe is associated with classic cocktails such as the Grasshopper and Stinger, and it can also flavor chocolate desserts, brownies, ice cream, and other sweets. The liqueur’s documented subject history is linked to Émile Giffard, a French pharmacist who developed a clear mint liqueur in 1885 while researching mint’s digestive and refreshing qualities. The history of crème de menthe should not be confused with the history of the holiday itself: the holiday’s exact origin and founder are not recorded.",
