With the social season and the holidays headed into high gear, there are likely to be nights when you'll want a cocktail at the end of the evening as much as at the beginning.

My suggestion is a stinger, a Prohibition-era cocktail as classic as the Chrysler Building. Most agree it is one of the few cocktails that will also qualify as an after-dinner drink, though it's no Kahlúa on ice cream, either. —William L. Hamilton
