Date Nut Dessert

July 9, 2018 by mgrc Leave a Comment

When offering the original Stinger (as opposed to its many progeny, e.g., the Italian Stinger, the Bourbon Stinger, etc.,) and serving it as an after-dinner drink rather than a pre-dinner cocktail, you’ll find this easy dessert a chewy, tasty snack to serve alongside. Sweetened whipped cream flavored with brandy and steaming cups of freshly brewed coffee round out the party menu.
