The Stinger
The Stinger is a classic cocktail that originated in the United States and gained popularity in the 1920s. The cocktail consists of just two ingredients: Cognac and White Crème de Menthe. The combination of these two ingredients gives the Stinger its unique taste and characteristic green color. The Stinger is known as an after-dinner drink and is often enjoyed after a rich meal. The Cognac imparts a rich, earthy note, while the mint liqueur adds a fresh, cool touch. The Stinger is often served over ice and can be savored both as an aperitif and a digestif. Although the Stinger is not as widely known today as some of its contemporary cocktail siblings like the Martini or the Manhattan, it still boasts a loyal following and remains a classic in any cocktail bar.
