An odd one but occasionally fun - Maybe I should shake up a few more Aviations.

Rosewater in Iranian desserts is excellent

Lavender, I associate it with my parents house so it tastes like a couch

Orange flower water, there’s a drink with tequila and chartreuse that is A+

Mint flavor is only acceptable in toothpaste or mouthwash. Or scented toilet cleaner.
Have you ever had a really good Mojito?
Or a mint julep?? jeez

One time we got some really good creme de menthe (Tempus Fugit brand) and some really nice brandy and made some seriously excellent stingers.

Ooh damn, I haven't made a Stinger in forever. Thanks for the inspiration.

Creme de violette is a very nice and useful liqueur, as Ace K has stated. Cannot make an Aviation (one of the nicest cocktails) without it. Agree that rose water and orange water are great too in context of Iranian/Persian foods, especially desserts, and Turkish delight candies.

Mint? Really? WTF? Aside from Mojitos and Mint Juleps, also the Southside cocktail, gin, lemon, mint, simple syrup; it's like a gimlet with mint. Really good. And mint chip ice cream, Junior Mints (frozen, of course), York Peppermint Pattie, Andes Mints. Come on, man!

And course the Stinger cocktail (2:1 brandy to creme de menthe), as mentioned. Such an underrated cocktail. I always had one on my dessert menus.
