A classic two-ingredient mixed drink, The Stinger Cocktail is simple but full of flavor. The unique combination of mint and brandy makes for a perfect after-dinner nightcap.
Add the brandy and crème de menthe into a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Mix together until well-chilled, about one minute.
Strain into a serving rocks glass filled with ice or crushed ice.
Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint if desired and enjoy immediately.
Notes
You can use peppermint schnapps as a substitute for crème de menthe, but it has a stronger flavor so start with half the quantity, then add more to taste.
