History

Crème de menthe plays a subtle yet crucial role in this palate-cleansing, refreshing aperitif/digestif.

This cocktail is adapted from a recipe found in the 1974 edition of the Mr. Boston Official Bartender's Guide. The HOT PANTS recipe calls for 1½ oz. Old Mr Boston Tequila, ½ oz Old Mr Boston Peppermint Schnapps, 1 tablespoon Unsweetened Grapefruit Juice, and 1 teaspoon Powdered Sugar. It is to be shaken with ice cubes and poured into an old-fashioned glass rimmed with salt.
