Originally served straight-up but better over ice, this cocktail is kümmel's answer to the Stinger. To quote Harry Craddock, "Brandy gives you courage...
Used Three Barrels and Helbing Kuemmel. Utterly horrendous drink. It felt like eating a musty crushed caraway seeds straight with some battery acid thrown for good measure. I wouldn't be surprised if a better brandy might make it better, but it is so horrendous that I don't care to try it again. Also, instructions indicate a straight-up serve, whereas the picture is of a rocks glass.
