How do you make a stinger?

1. Ingredients:

- 1.5 ounces cognac

- 0.75 ounces white crème de menthe

2. Instructions:

Combine cognac and crème de menthe in a highball glass filled with ice.

Top it up with ginger ale.

Stir gently to combine.

Serve immediately.

Tips:

- For a stronger stinger, use a double shot of cognac.

- For a sweeter stinger, use more white crème de menthe.

- For a spicier stinger, use a dash of cinnamon or cayenne pepper.

- You can also use lemon-lime soda instead of ginger ale.

- If you don't have crème de menthe, you can substitute with half an ounce each of green crème de cacao and white rum.

- The stinger is a versatile cocktail that can be customized to your taste. Experiment with different ingredients and proportions until you find your perfect stinger recipe.
