Production of Männergrippe Ice-Mint Liqueur by Krugmann

The base for this peppermint liqueur is a neutral alcohol that creates a pure stage for the aromas. Krugmann uses a clear alcohol base that brings no disturbing flavor of its own. This allows the peppermint to take center stage and unfold its full profile. The alcohol is followed by pure sugar, which gives the liqueur its harmonious sweetness and gently cushions the cool notes.

For the characteristic flavor, Krugmann uses intense peppermint and menthol aromas. This mixture creates the distinctive ice effect. The mint tastes fresh and lively, the menthol delivers the icy peak. Lemon balm appears as a delicate herbal component. It creates a rounded, smooth transition between sweetness and freshness. Colorants give the liqueur its bright blue color, which immediately catches the eye and makes the icy character visible.

During production, an aromatic extract based on mint, menthol, and other coordinated components is created first. This extract is mixed with the alcohol base and refined sugar. In large mixing tanks, all components unite to form a clear, aromatic liqueur. The mixing ratio plays a major role here. Too much sugar would weaken the ice effect; too little sweetness would make the alcohol seem too harsh.

Krugmann works with great care to achieve the ideal profile. The result is evident in the balance of cool heat, rounded sweetness, and a soft mouthfeel. After blending, the liqueur base rests for a certain period. During this phase, the aromas meld and layer harmoniously over one another. This is followed by filtration, which gives the liqueur its clarity and removes any cloudiness.

Finally, the company fills the Ice-Mint Liqueur into its distinctive bottles with humorous design. Each bottle leaves the distillery in Meinerzhagen as a finished product of enjoyment. Thus, modern aroma technology meets traditional brand craftsmanship. The distributor is Krugmann Markenspirituosen GmbH & Co. KG in Meinerzhagen, a company with long-standing experience in liqueurs and fun spirits.

In a shot glass, the liqueur is perfect for parties, bachelor parties, or sociable evenings with friends.

Those who like it chocolatey can opt for an “Ice Mint Choco.” To make it, add about 4 cl of the liqueur and 2 cl of chocolate liqueur with ice to a shaker.

This turns a classic of the cold season into a sophisticated adult treat.
