good point, i've thought up a name for a cocktail a few months ago but havn't 
worked out what to put in it yet.
it's to be called a 'minted lady'. It will be the next biggest cocktail to 
paralell the cosmo. ha. it's gotta have a mint idea to it i supose, and also 
maybe be in a cocktail glass as the name suggests elegance in 'lady' and 
minted also meaning rich.
apart from that i'm not sure. maybe a creme de menthe and cacao combination 
and half n half possibly, or maybe fresh mint would be good with some other 
nice fruity spirits and fruit juices while not being too sweet.
