Chocolate Mint Julep Cocktail
Twisting the classic mint julep idea just a bit, this variation substitutes crème de cacao for the sugar, adding a chocolate flavor that pairs well with both bourbon and mint.

Grasshopper Bars Recipe | Bake the Book
The grasshopper is a vintage cocktail made with crème de menthe, crème de cacao, and fresh cream–it definitely falls into the dessert-in-a-glass category of cocktails. They inspired these Grasshopper Bars from Matt Lewis and Renato Poliafito's Baked Explorations.

I Dream of Greenie
This cocktail tastes just like spring. A clean London Dry Gin like Bombay Dry or Beefeater provides a great base for the sweet peas, the cooling mint, peppery arugula, and floral black pepper in this drink.

Upgraded Mind Eraser
Despite the name, the classic Mind Eraser is really just a watered down Black Russian. This version subs in mighty 151-proof rum to give it a little more kick. It's worth seeking out Lemon Hart 151 for its rich, bold flavor.

The Hawthorne's Mojito
Do you ever get annoyed with the bits of mint and lime pulp that get stuck in your teeth when drinking a mojito? This version solves the problem by straining the lime and rum-based drink through a tea strainer while adding a bit of complexity with a dash of bitters.

The Best Mint Chip Ice Cream
No mint leaves can match the charged blast of a slug of mint extract, but fresh mint ice cream has an unbeatable roundness of flavor you just can't find in a bottle. Add in lacy straciatella swirls that don't turn brittle like regular frozen chocolate for a mint chip ice cream that'll put all the others to bed.

Chocolate Thin Mint Ice Cream
Fair warning: this is some really rich chocolate ice cream. It's plenty dark, and so pumped with chocolate that it melts more into pudding than custard. The mint keeps things light enough, but a little of this goes a long way.

Chocolate Marquise
A handsome ramekin of dark chocolate mousse is a Seriously Bitter Sweet indulgence. Take the time to make the Cocoa Bean Cream to serve on top; the cocoa nibs add a depth that complements the mousse beautifully.

Scooped: White Chocolate Mint Ice Cream with Pomegranate Molasses
White chocolate, of course, isn't chocolate. It's comparisons to the dark stuff that so frequently disappoint tasters. So let's step past the unfortunate comparisons and consider white chocolate on its own terms. Once you get by the whole chocolate malapropism, white chocolate's flavor is pretty awesome: a buttery vanilla with strong hints of mint and other leafy herbs.

Scooped: Ginger Mint and Chocolate-Covered Espresso Bean Gelato
Gelato just might be the most misunderstood form of ice cream in our great, ice cream-lovin' nation. We know it's smooth, intense and delicious but what makes a gelato real gelato? Here are the three elements that differentiate real-deal gelato from the traditional American stuff, and a recipe for a caffeinated twist on mint 'n' chip.

Lemon Basil Chocolate Chip Ice Cream Sandwiches
If you've made a mint chocolate chip ice cream before, this recipe follows the same basic procedure. But while mint leaves are usually steeped in the cream for upwards of an hour or two before getting strained out, basil benefits more from a short initial steeping before getting blended into the base. I forgo chocolate chips or drizzling melted chocolate for simply shaving chocolate directly into the ice cream as it's finishing the churn.
