History

A White Spider is another name for a Vodka Stinger (vodka and white crème de menthe) and in 2020 Salvatore Calabrese, at London's Donovan Bar, adapted this vodka-based classic cocktail to use his Acqua Bianca, an alternative white crème de menthe liqueur.

We thought this was delightfully simple and perfectly balanced. So much so that we decided to try it substituting gin for the vodka. We enjoyed that also but perhaps, with gin, the 2:1 ratio doesn't offer the perfect balance of the original.

A rye whiskey and maple syrup sour served short and straight-up. You'd perhaps have expected this cocktail to be more drawn out.
