The Stinger
The Stinger is one of those drinks that got a bad reputation, but it’s a completely different cocktail when you use the right stuff. The rich, fruity notes of a good VSOP Cognac play beautifully against the clean, botanical mint of Tempus Fugit. It’s a sophisticated, chilly sipper that’s surprisingly complex and absolutely delicious.
