Stinger Cocktail

Stinger Cocktail
The Stinger Cocktail is a sleek and storied two-ingredient drink made with brandy and white crème de menthe. Originating in the late 1800s, it became a favorite among high society and Hollywood elites as a sophisticated digestif. The brandy’s warmth is balanced by the cool bite of mint, resulting in a cocktail that’s both assertive and refreshing. While often served straight up in a coupe, it can also be poured over ice for a more relaxed experience. Either way, it’s a minty nightcap that leaves a lasting impression.
