The Stinger became popular in the early twentieth century, especially among high society circles who appreciated its simplicity and clean finish. It is traditionally served after dinner.
It combines brandy and crème de menthe, creating a drink that is both warming and refreshing. The mint lifts the richness of the spirit, giving it a distinctive character. It is a cocktail that feels both old fashioned and surprisingly modern.
