And mint chip ice cream, Junior Mints (frozen, of course), York Peppermint Pattie, Andes Mints. Come on, man!
And course the Stinger cocktail (2:1 brandy to creme de menthe), as mentioned. Such an underrated cocktail. I always had one on my dessert menus.

I got nauseous reading that. Mint should not be swallowed.

This. 100% this. I love 'em

Yuck. Disgusting. When I assume control, these will be outlawed. As a kid, they were the most disappointing sweet imaginable. Like eating soap, so much so that I always wondered if I'd been tricked into eating a moth repellant or cleaning product. I'm staggered that my kids love them.

Mint is great. Overused? Sure. But it's delicous across a range of food and drink.

Rosewater I like in some things - pastries/baklava etc but a little goes a long way.
