The alcohol flavor is not strong, so you might want to give that a try sometime --- very nice and minty and refreshing.
I've added my GD liqueur to coffee with cream and sugar, sort of like an Irish coffee --- very good. And I've added it to black tea with lemon and honey --- also very nice. Both of them seem to absorb the grassy flavor nicely.

I love this suggestion, great idea dragonrider!
I used to keep a bottle of Creme de Menthe in the freezer, and because the high alcohol content prevented it from turning to ice it would pour like syrup, but ice cold and minty (so cold, ice would form on the outside of the shot glass making it frosted).
A green dragon version would be one hell of a party piece, can't wait to give it a try.
Cheers & nice job!
