Hah. The first time I ever heard of it was in 1970 on a very warm day
in San Juan in a seaside bar. An older, overdone woman at the next
table was trying to order it and the waiter had never heard of it. She
kept insisting "It's equal parts creme de menthe and cream de cacao."

We couldn't imagine a worse-sounding drink in that heat, while everyone
else was drinking fruity, icey rum things.
