1960s Stinger Cocktail

2 oz brandy
 1 oz white or green creme de menthe

To serve as a cocktail: combine ingredients in a mixing glass with ice; strain into chilled cocktail glass. To serve as a frappe: combine ingredients in a mixing glass filled with ice. Fill and old-fashioned glass with shaved ice; strain spirits over ice and serve with straw.

From the book: Peter Pauper's Drink Book: A guide to Drinks and Drinking, compiled by Peter Beilenson (Peter Pauper Press, 1964)

Author's note: This may be served as a cocktail, or poured over shaved ice as a frappe. (Use a short straw.) As an afternoon drink, the brandy and creme de menthe can be used in equal quantities.
