What does a Stinger taste like? ›

The Stinger is a pre-Prohibition drink composed simply of cognac and white crème de menthe. The odd couple is quite a pair, producing a co*cktail that's sweet, strong, minty and refreshing—the ideal interplay for an after-dinner nightcap.

A stinger is a duo co*cktail made by adding crème de menthe to brandy (although recipes vary). The co*cktail's origins can be traced to the United States in the 1890s, and the beverage remained widely popular in America until the 1970s.

A wasp's stinger contains venom (a poisonous substance) that's transmitted to humans during a sting. However, even without a lodged stinger, wasp venom can cause significant pain and irritation. It's also possible to have a serious reaction if you're allergic to the venom.

To help alleviate the panic, it's important to know what to do — and not do — to treat a bee sting. The first thing to do is to get the stinger out quickly. The longer the stinger stays in the skin, the more venom it releases, adding to the person's pain and swelling.
