With an alcohol content of 24%, Dr. McGillicuddy's Mentholmint is not as strong as hard liquors like vodka or whiskey, but it still packs a punch. This makes it ideal for sipping straight or incorporating into various cocktails and mixed drinks. The lower alcohol content allows the minty flavors to take center stage, creating a unique and enjoyable drinking experience.
