As someone who likes creating my own recipes, this is an inspiring cocktail. I probably used a little too much vinegar, and I used a few drops of olive bitters in lieu of a garnish, but this was really interesting

Cocktail de mi compañera María en el 1862 dry bar
Cuando lo probe enseguida pensé que es un cóctel que tiene que estar en las mejores barras del mundo
Gran barman y enamorada del jerez como yo

Agreed. I've added María's name. Credit where credit is due!

Had to improvise: Beefeater; had no Amontillado so used Lustau Oloroso (1/2) & PX (1/2); a fig/vanilla balsamic and birch syrup in place of maple. Anxious to make one true to the recipe, but this one was outstanding--lush and balanced.
