Lucy’s cocktail blends vodka with creme de menthe and creme de cacao. Just from the ingredients, you know it’s going to be good.

It tastes like a chocolate mint candy. Not a peppermint patty – this is the less bracing sort of mint, like you find in Andes candies. So many sweet cocktails are either fruity or from the Baileys-Kahlua-Amaretto triumvirate. Lucy’s Cocktail makes a fun change from that.
Recipe
- 1 ounce vodka
- 1 ounce green creme de menthe
- 1 ounce brown creme de cacao
Fill a cocktail shaker with ice and pour in the ingredients. Shake thoroughly and strain the mixture into an old-fashioned glass.
