best liquor to serve with mint
so, I bought these little edible shot glasses that are made out of candy canes. Really cute. I want to give them to my co-workers with alittle bottle of something alcoholic. What are the best liquors to compliment the mint flavor of the glasses?
TIA for your help!

I'm going to have to side with a chocolate liqueur on this one--though vodka would be my preference. I love mint juleps, but I just don't see bourbon working here. Though for some reason brandy seems appealing.
But I have no experience with such items. Surely someone in the Chowhound universe has experience with these . . .

I haven't tried the Mozart dry (0% sugar) spirit, but it sounds idea:

Alas, the spirits is "soundmilled" with Mozart paying, and such things make me shake my head.

It' weird, I was half repulsed and half delighted by the idea of candy cane shot glasses. Where did you get them? Were they at a good price? (I have to get a ton of them for my hundreds of bartender and spirits brand ambassador friends for the bartenders guild holiday party.) As for the liquor, I would buy what you think each person would like, rather than trying to compliment the mint, because a hint of mint goes well with almost any booze, and it's not going to be in the glass for long. (I googled them and they are waaaay too expensive. $15 for three, with $8 shipping.)

All kinds of things are going to work well with them. Weezycom's choices are delightful. I would imagine Bailey's would be tasty, too.
