Crème De Menthe
Crème de menthe (, French for "mint cream") is a sweet, mint-flavored alcoholic beverage. It is available commercially in a colorless version (called "white") and a green version (colored by the mint leaves or by added coloring if made from extract instead of leaves). Both varieties have similar flavor and are interchangeable in recipes, except where color is important. 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. It typically has 25% alcohol by volume. Crème de menthe is an ingredient in several cocktails, such as the Grasshopper and the Stinger. It is also served as a digestif and used in cooking as a flavoring (see Mint chocolate). It is also a primary component of the popular South African shooter known as the Springbokkie. Music Sergei Rachmaninoff, although otherwise a teetotaler, found that a glass of crème de menthe steadied his nerves when pl ...

Stinger (cocktail)
A stinger is a duo cocktail made by adding crème de menthe to brandy (although recipes vary). The cocktail's origins can be traced to the United States in the 1890s, and the beverage remained widely popular in America until the 1970s. It was seen as a drink of the upper class, and has had a somewhat wide cultural impact. History of the cocktail The stinger originated about 1890. The cocktail may have been derived from The Judge, a cocktail made with brandy, crème de menthe, and simple syrup found in William Schmidt's 1892 cocktail book ''The Flowing Bowl''. It was immediately popular in New York City, and quickly became known as a "society" drink (i.e. only for the upper classes). According to bartender Jere Sullivan in his 1930 volume ''The Drinks of Yesteryear: A Mixology'', the stinger remained a critical component of the bartender's repertoire until Prohibition. The stinger was not initially seen as a cocktail (i.e. a drink served before dinner), but rather a digestif (a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Godmother (cocktail)
The Godfather is a duo mixed drink made of Scotch whisky (especially smoky Scotch) and amaretto. Typically, the drink is served with ice in an old fashioned glass. Name As with many cocktails, the origin of the Godfather's name is uncertain. The amaretto brand Disaronno claims the drink was the favorite cocktail of American actor Marlon Brando, known for playing the titular character in the popular American film adaptation of Mario Puzo's ''The Godfather'', which prominently features the Italian mob. This may be an allusion to the cocktail's prominent use of amaretto, an Italian liqueur. This drink was also a favorite of the Rat Pack. Variations Disaronno recommends a one-to-two ratio of amaretto to whisky (25 ml amaretto to 50 ml whisky) The godmother cocktail uses vodka in place of whisky, while the French Connection uses brandy. The godchild, meanwhile, replaces Scotch with cream, leaving a drink with much less alcohol. See also * List of cocktails A cock ...

Amaretto
Amaretto (Italian for "a little bitter") is a sweet Italian liqueur that originated in Saronno. Depending on the brand, it may be made from apricot kernels, bitter almonds, peach stones, or almonds, all of which are natural sources of the benzaldehyde that provides the almond-like flavour of the liqueur. It generally contains 21 to 28 percent alcohol by volume. When served as a beverage, amaretto can be drunk by itself, used as an ingredient to create several popular mixed drinks, or added to coffee. Amaretto is also commonly used in culinary applications. Origin Etymology The name ''amaretto'' originated as a diminutive of the Italian word ''amaro'', meaning "bitter", which references the distinctive flavour lent by the ''mandorla amara'' or by the drupe kernel. However, the bitterness of amaretto tends to be mild, and sweeteners (and sometimes sweet almonds) enhance the flavour in the final products.Hopkins, Kate"Almonds: Who Really Cares?"
