Review:

As the name suggests, fino sherry and caper brine add saltiness but this 'Salty Martini' also has a distinct nuttiness from the sherry. We'd suggest both a long stir for generous dilution, and serving with grilled almonds.

I made this with the standard dry vermouth we have in the states and Trader Joe’s Pinot gris. Also add a lemon peel. Fantastic. Definitely would do it again. Thank you for the drink idea difford
