The brand Get 27 was born in 1896 in Revel, France, when brothers Jean and Pierre Get transformed their family distillery into a global icon of the Belle Époque. Originally named Pippermint Get, the liqueur was a pioneer in the market for its use of premium peppermint oils and its striking, hourglass-shaped bottle inspired by a traditional oil lamp. In 1969, the brand was officially renamed Get 27 to highlight its distinctive 27% alcohol content, a move that solidified its status as a high-strength, premium digestive. Throughout the late 20th century, Get 27 became a symbol of French nightlife and café culture, eventually joining the Bacardi-Martini group where it remains the most famous mint liqueur in France.

Get 27 is an essential addition for any well-rounded home bar, serving as the benchmark for green crème de menthe. Its unique bottle shape provides excellent shelf appeal, while the liquid itself is indispensable for anyone interested in classic mixology or retro French drinking culture. Unlike many cheaper imitators, Get 27 uses natural peppermint oils that provide a "true" mint flavour without a medicinal aftertaste, making it the reliable choice for both layered shots and sophisticated dessert cocktails.
