Puschkin Ice Mint is a light mint liqueur rather than a full-strength vodka, bottled at 15% by the Puschkin brand in Germany. It tastes of cool peppermint over a gentle sweetness, like a refreshing mint sweet in a glass. It is made to be poured cold and long on a warm evening.

Description
Puschkin Ice Mint sits at the liqueur end of the Puschkin range, a German brand known for its flavoured, lower-strength bottlings. At 15% it is sweeter and softer than a standard vodka, built by taking a neutral spirit base, adding peppermint flavour and sweetening it into a cooling mint liqueur. The lower alcohol keeps it gentle and easy-drinking, with the mint doing the leading rather than the spirit.
The nose is fresh and intensely minty with a sweet edge, the palate is refreshing and sweet with a dominant peppermint note, and the finish is cooling and long. The flavour begs to be served long and cold, so build a frozen-style mint cooler: pour it over crushed ice in a tall glass, top with lemonade or soda and add a slap of fresh mint. The crushed ice and bubbles stretch the sweetness into something genuinely refreshing for a hot day.
