Cocktail Hour: Stinger


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
