Japanese CocktailvsStinger
Which one fits your taste?
Japanese Cocktail
One of the oldest recorded cocktails: cognac stirred with orgeat and Angostura bitters, finished with a lemon twist. Sweet, nutty, and spirit-forward with no citrus juice in sight.
Stinger
A cool, minty after-dinner classic pairing cognac with white crème de menthe.

Which should you pick?
Pick the Japanese Cocktail if you want something more straightforward and clean. Go with the Stinger if you'd rather have something herbal and aromatic. Both are sweet and approachable and boozy and spirit-forward, so if you enjoy one you'll likely appreciate the other.
