Stinger

Why this recipe works

Stirring keeps the Stinger silky and lets the spirit stay centre-stage — there's no citrus to froth, so dilution and chill come from gentle contact with ice rather than aeration.

Common mistakes

• Over-stirring. Stop once the outside of the mixing glass is cold and frosted — usually 20–30 seconds.
• Serving in a warm glass. Chill the coupe or martini glass in the freezer first.
