The world of cocktails and mixology is rich in history, where we find drinks that continue to embody the elegance and sophistication of the past, such as the Stinger.
Born in the 20th century, this delicious mix of brandy and mint liqueur has become an iconic after-dinner drink, perfect for ending an evening in style and taste.
A must-have offering in the best cocktail bars!
The Stinger: a long-lasting success.
Since the 1920s until now, the Stinger has been a timeless drink: from New York’s most exclusive clubs to today’s cocktail bars, the Stinger has withstood change. Its strength is its smoothness, which has made it a milestone in mixology and a sophisticated after-dinner drink.
The recipe for the Stinger is as simple as it is brilliant: it combines the decisive strength of cognac or brandy with the minty freshness of crème de menthe. The result is a cocktail with a strong character and a complex, enveloping taste that wins you over at the first sip.
As any mixologist knows, the key to a perfect Stinger is not only the right proportion between the two ingredients-the robust brandy and the fresh mint liqueur-that allows them to shine without towering over each other. In fact, as always, the secret to a good cocktail is also in the choice of glass!
For creating a Stinger that will win the hearts and minds of those customers looking for timeless flavor, the perfect glass is an Old Fashioned: the format that perfectly fits the necessary doses of brandy and mint liqueur, enhancing flavors and facilitating service and presentation.
Among our OF proposals, we at Vetreria di Borgonovo have selected a model with sophisticated lines for the Stinger cocktail: the Oak OF 285.
Oak OF 285: create your own Stinger with Borgonovo®.
Borgonovo’s Oak OF 285 (28.5 cl) is the ideal choice for the Stinger. With its distinctive workmanship, it’s a tumbler that captures the essence of the art of drinking while remaining a perfect complement for serving water and soft drinks.
The high quality of the 100% Made in Italy and extra-clear glass makes the Oak OF 285 a durable glass that is not affected by frequent dishwasher washings.
