IBA
A favorite of the American upper class in the early 20th century, the Stinger became synonymous with after-dinner drinking among the Prohibition-era elite who could afford quality brandy. The meeting of warm, rounded brandy and cool, sharp white crème de menthe creates a striking thermal and flavor contrast that earned it a reputation as a sophisticated palate cleanser.
