Rich and yet austere. Adapted from the Roosevelt Room's brilliant riff on a classic Chrysanthemum with dry sherry pitched alongside the usual vermouth.

Truly exceptional! This one trancends the sum of it's parts. The flavors combine like a fine watchworks. What a discovery and thank you to the Roosevelt Room and ya'all at Difford's Guide. ☆☆☆☆☆+♡

Very subtly seductive. We went with an Amontillado sherry, thinking that the Benedictine and Absinthe might welcome another partner in their dance with the dry Vermouth.
