The Greek Stinger is a classic cocktail made with Galliano and Metaxa brandy. Galliano is a sweet herbal liqueur made with a variety of herbs and spices, while Metaxa is a Greek brandy known for its smoothness. The combination of these two ingredients creates a refreshing drink that is perfect for sipping on a hot summer day. The sweetness of the Galliano is tempered by the strength of the brandy, resulting in a balanced and flavorful cocktail.

Instructions

1.	Add the Galliano and Metaxa brandy to a shaker filled with ice.
2.	Shake well.
3.	Strain into a chilled cocktail glass.

PROS

The Greek Stinger is a simple and refreshing cocktail that is easy to make with only two ingredients.

The honey and herb flavors of the Galliano pair nicely with the smoothness of the Metaxa brandy.

CONS

This cocktail is fairly strong, so it should be enjoyed in moderation.

Some drinkers may find the herbaceousness of the Galliano overwhelming.

HEALTH & BENEFITS
