Keen and refreshing, plenty flavorful, Lustau Jarana Fino was well balanced amidst the gin sour and mint. I used what I suspect is Canada mint, larger leaves, menthol/peppermint flavors. ♡

Etwas mehr simple syrup nehmen, sonst ist der Drink zu sauer.

Light & refreshing drink that is heavily relying on quality of Sherry…

Maybe it is true, but I used Tio Pepe (a sherry recommended by Difford's Guide) and it is too sherry forward, to the point of missing the mint and the gin. Not a bad drink by any means, but I much prefer a Southside Fizz.
