Description: A cool, minty vodka cocktail, a lighter variant of the classic brandy-based Stinger.
Cultural Background: A mid-1900s adaptation of the older brandy Stinger, following vodka's rise as a popular bar spirit.
Tips: White crème de menthe (clear) keeps the drink pale — green is also acceptable if color isn't a concern.
Variations: Brandy instead of vodka gives the original, more traditional Stinger.
Serving Suggestion: Serve over ice as a cool, refreshing after-dinner drink.
