With the social season and the holidays headed into high gear, there are likely to be nights when you’ll want a cocktail at the end of the evening as much as at the beginning.
My suggestion is a stinger, a Prohibition-era cocktail as classic as the Chrysler Building. Most agree it is one of the few cocktails that will also qualify as an after-dinner drink, though it’s no Kahlúa on ice cream, either.
Ingredients
- 2 ounces brandy or vodka
- 1 ounce white creme de menthe
- Andes chocolate mint candy (optional, most bars don’t do this)
1 serving
Preparation
- Combine brandy or vodka with creme de menthe in a chilled glass, and stir. Garnish with mint candy.
