Cocktail Hour: Stinger
19 July 2008
One Comment
I’ve been watching “Kiss them for Me,” a war movie about Navy Pilots in World War II. Cary Grant orders the drink all over San Francisco on his shore leave…the Stinger. I just had to know what is in a Stinger?
The base:
Shake about 2 parts Cognac/Brandy with 1 part white creme de menthe and ice. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass.
Variations:
- You can slightly vary the ratio of cognac to creme de menthe, I’ve seen different ratios all over the internet.
- You can substitute rum for cognac or brandy.
- You can serve the drink on the rocks in and old-fashioned glass with a short straw
