If you order a menthe à l'eau in France, you'll either get it ready to drink, or you'll be served a shot of mint syrup in a glass (sometimes with ice) along with a carafe of cold water so that you can prepare it to your own taste, much like the Pastis and citron pressé (a freshly pressed lemon in a glass).

Though they're made in much the same way, there is a noticeable difference. Peppermint schnapps is less sweet, has a more intense mint flavor, and typically contains more alcohol. Crème de menthe is not creamy—crème refers to the thickness due to a lot of sugar—and it's almost too sweet to drink alone.

It is typically part of a mixed drink that adds a lot of flavor, and it is used in smaller amounts than the base liquor. It's often the modifier or perfume of a co*cktail. Liqueurs can also be consumed straight on their own—usually sipped as an aperitif before a meal or digestif after a meal.
