Notes
- For authentic flavor, look for mint extract rather than peppermint extract.
- Add less mint than you think you need. Taste and adjust as needed.
- Add the food coloring a few drops at a time. The green color should be pastel green rather than a dark or deep green.
- Top with whipped cream and sprinkle with green sugar for an authentic look.
- Don’t forget the cherry.
