Chocolate Mint Liqueur

Choco Mint Liqueur brings the "After Eight" experience to the glass

The Choco Mint Liqueur from Sasse is a chocolate liqueur from the Münsterland region with 28% ABV, made by combining milk chocolate and mint from certified organic farming. Fresh, sweet, cool—the duo everyone knows from the dessert plate.

Choco Mint Liqueur is the chocolate liqueur from the Feinbrennerei Sasse in Schöppingen: the invigorating freshness of mint meets the rounded sweetness of milk chocolate, both from certified organic farming, blended into a natural liqueur with 28% ABV in a 700-milliliter bottle. Everyone knows the combination—but here, for the first time, it’s in a stem glass instead of on a dessert plate.

It sits dark and calm in the glass, and its aroma immediately makes the destination clear: mint at the forefront, cool and crisp, with the warm sweetness of milk chocolate behind it. Two flavors that go perfectly together.

Mint forward, milk chocolate behind

On the palate, the Choco Mint Liqueur balances the freshness of the mint with the rounded sweetness of the milk chocolate—refreshing and sweet all at once.

The mint takes the first turn, cooling and opening the palate, then the chocolate follows, laying itself down softly on top. Fresh, sweet, and cool, the layers flow into one another, and the 28% ABV holds everything together without overpowering it. The mint lingers at the end, which is why it feels lighter than the ingredient list would suggest.

Ice-cold, over ice, in dessert

Choco Mint Liqueur should be enjoyed well-chilled—the colder it is, the more clearly the mint stands out.

Poured over vanilla ice cream, mint and chocolate become a classic; as a dash in an espresso, it rounds off a meal. In a milkshake with vanilla ice cream, you have an adult dessert in two minutes, and in a cocktail, it fills the spot usually reserved for crème de menthe—with the added bonus of chocolate.

And for those who like it in the summer: a splash over ice, topped with cold sparkling water, and a mint leaf added—it becomes a long drink for the balcony that is surprisingly low in sweetness.

Mint and chocolate from organic farming

Sasse calls its liqueurs "natural liqueurs" because they begin with the raw material—in the case of the Choco Mint, both the mint and the chocolate are from certified organic farming.

Real mint and real milk chocolate must be emulsified in the liqueur without separating or clumping—that is craftsmanship you cannot see, but you can taste. And it explains why the mint here tastes like real leaves rather than candy.

It is distilled in Schöppingen in the Münsterland, where a distillery has stood since 1707 and where Rüdiger Sasse manages the house in the 15th generation. At the 2025 World Spirits Award, the distillery was the only grain distillery in Germany to be named a World-Class Distillery—one of only 18 worldwide. There are worlds between a ten-year-aged barrel-matured grain spirit and a mint liqueur, yet both come from the same hall. Quite an achievement.

Three ways: neat, over ice, in espresso

Keep the bottle in the refrigerator and leave it there—this liqueur thrives on the cold, and at room temperature, the chocolate quickly becomes heavy. A small glass after dinner, a spoonful over vanilla ice cream, a dash in an espresso: three ways, three results. Once opened and kept cool, it stays good for many months.
