Crème de menthe

Crème de menthe (pronounced [kʁɛm də mɑ̃t], French for "mint cream") is a sweet, mint-flavored alcoholic beverage.

It is usually made with Corsican mint or peppermint, which is steeped in grain alcohol for several weeks before it is filtered and sweetened to create the final product.

Russian composer and conductor Sergei Rachmaninoff, although otherwise a teetotaler, found that a glass of crème de menthe steadied his nerves before playing the technically demanding piano score in the twenty-fourth variation of his Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini.

It is a component of some cocktails as the traditional "Cloud" (in Bulgarian - Облак) where it is combined with Mastika.
