I've just reformulated and reduced the vodka, and indeed the other ingredients, but I've introduced dry vermouth to bring into the Martini camp. Hopefully now more suited to the after-dinner occasion.

Vodka may fortify this cocktail, but it's led by the interplay between fino sherry, banana liqueur and sweet 'n' sour.
