Best Crème de Menthe Substitutes without Alcohol
Creme de menthe syrup is a great alcohol-free alternative for the liqueur that can be used in equal parts.
Another great substitute is to use peppermint coffee creamer in any drink or recipe (that would work well with a dairy-based alternative). It can also be used in a 1:1 ratio.
