“The world reveals itself to those who travel on foot.” – Werner Herzog
Sometimes after an enjoyable city hike, you almost feel you deserve something special. Yesterday we made a Midnight Stinger, so today it's the original Stinger, a drink that dates back to the early 1900s. It was created and served by Reginald Vanderbilt at his 5th Avenue mansion bar in NYC. When he threw parties, he was the bartender. I had not even heard of a Stinger until one afternoon, here in Asheville, a gentleman who had spent 50 years in the "bar business" in NYC and LA, told me a Stinger would be one of the top drinks he would recommend to impress friends.
