About the Stinger
White crème de menthe tastes exactly like the green one: the green version is simply coloured.
Missing something?
- No Cognac? Use Brandy (Cognac is a grape brandy; any decent brandy works)
- No Cognac? Use Pisco (Unaged and more floral)
- No White Crème de Menthe? Use Green Crème de Menthe (Same flavour, green colour)
