I have used a green creme the menthe, but needed an extra fine strain by Melitta filterpaper to avoid residue of the mintleaves in my glass.
It took a lot of time but it was worth, a very nice subtile minty cocktail in ice green colour.
Will make it again!

No wine on hand. Made this with Cocchi Americano. Tempus Fugit brand creme de menthe. Thought I would have to up the mint liqueur, but it's plenty menthol. The sweetness of the Cocchi was balanced by its bitterness, so it wasn’t quite cloying. But I can see why unadulterated white wine would be preferable.

Nice drink after a meal, almost like a gin Stinger. Nice balance of mint (both fresh and sweet) with the slight acidity of the white wine and the botanicals of the gin.
