Look to turn foreign booze into evocative memento (8)

keepsake

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'evocative memento' is the definition.
'keepsake' can be an answer for 'memento' (I've seen this in another clue). I'm unsure of the 'evocative' bit.

'look to turn foreign booze' is the wordplay.
'look' becomes 'peek' (peek can mean to look at quickly).
'to turn' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'foreign booze' becomes 'sake' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'peek' backwards is 'keep'.
'keep'+'sake'='KEEPSAKE'

'into' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for keepsake that I've seen before include "Something of sentimental value" , "Gift, reminder" , "Thing retained in memory of giver" , "one recalls" , "Remembrance" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
