Dr. McGillicuddy's Peppermint 1L
Dr. McGillicuddy's Peppermint 1L is the arctic blast of the liqueur world: an intensely cool, smooth peppermint liqueur from the Sazerac Company, in this 1L bottle — and it is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.
Dr. McGillicuddy's is named for the fictional Dr. Aloysius Percival McGillicuddy, a 19th-century old-west bartender whose "cures" became a whole flavored-liqueur empire. Sazerac acquired the brand from Seagram in 1989, and the Peppermint expression has been the party-shooter standard ever since: intense, cool peppermint with a smooth menthol chill that lands best straight from the freezer.
Tasting notes: bracing cool mint up front, sweet and smooth underneath, clean peppermint finish with a lingering arctic chill.
Why buy the 1L? Because the big bottle is the party bottle — chilled shots, batch cocktails, and holiday drinks without restocking. Browse more mint and party liqueurs in liqueurs, the Dr. McGillicuddy's brand collection, and cocktail essentials in spirits.
