Steps

  1. 1
    Chill a cocktail glass in the freezer.
  2. 2
    Pour the crème de menthe, crème de cacao and cream into a shaker filled with ice. Use cream of at least 30% fat; thinner cream makes a watery drink.
  3. 3
    Shake hard for 12–15 seconds, to chill the drink and whip a little air into the cream.
  4. 4
    Strain into the chilled cocktail glass.
  5. 5
    Garnish with a mint leaf.
