The STINGER-tini - Classic Cocktails as Martinis

The Stinger is a classic cocktail with some fun Hollywood history - in the 1957 film Kiss Them For Me, Cary Grant and Jayne Mansfield were drinking them and the Vodka Stinger even has a song line, "...Another chance to disapprove, another brilliant zinger. Another reason not to move, another Vodka Stinger!" from the Sondheim song "Ladies Who Lunch".

The classic Stinger is 3 parts brandy to 1 part white creme de menthe, a Vodka Stinger replaces the brandy with vodka BUT if you keep the brandy and replace the white creme de menthe with green creme de menthe you get a Green Hornet!

Enjoy your classic cocktail, The Stinger or try the variations - either way you're enjoying some cocktail history!

Cheers!
