STINGER—Country Club Style

Name: STINGER—Country Club Style
Ingredients: 1 cup Ice cubes (Originally 'Lump Ice'. Quantity estimated for mixing.); 1 1/2 ounces Aged Brandy (Originally '1 jigger Old Brandy'. Converted to modern measurement (1 jigger = 1.5 oz).); 1 ounce White Crème de Menthe (Originally '1 pony white Creme de Menthe'. Converted to modern measurement (1 pony = 1 oz).)

This classic digestif cocktail combines the rich, warming depth of aged brandy with the crisp, cooling sweetness of white crème de menthe. Known for being one of the few all-spirit cocktails that is traditionally shaken rather than stirred, the result is an exceptionally cold, refreshing drink with a sophisticated minty finish. It is the perfect elegant nightcap to serve after a heavy meal.
