Cocktail Hour: The Stinger



If you want to learn more about classic cocktails, then it's time to dig out the classic films. They're a wonderful little window into yesteryear, and not just when it comes to checking out what Katharine Hepburn and Lauren Bacall are wearing.

The Stinger features in High Society, a film that dates all the way back to the 1950s. Grace Kelly drinks one and if it's good enough for a princess, it's good enough for me. Don't be tempted to substitute with green creme de menthe. You're going to be left with a horrid sludgy-looking mess if you do that.

You'll need:
  • 50ml brandy
  • 15ml white creme de menthe
Shake it!

Pour the ingredients into an old fashioned glass over crushed ice. Stir well. Pretend you're a princess all evening.
