Use Port Wine Glass.
Fill with shaved ice.
Fill Glass 3/4 full with White Crème de Menthe (Brizard) and top with Brandy (Maison Surrenne Petite Champagne Cognac).
Ya know, I expected to hate this.
A glass 3/4 full of Crème de Menthe topped with Brandy.
An inverse stinger! How could that be good?
It’s actually kind of nice, in a peppermint life-saver kind of way. Cooling. Not to mention quite attractive visually.
I can only imagine it would be significantly spiffier with the legendary dry French Crème de Menthe, Get.
This post is one in a series documenting my ongoing effort to make all of the cocktails in the Savoy Cocktail Book, starting at the first, Abbey, and ending at the last, Zed.
