Review

Bone dry and boozy, this cocktail is aimed at those who have a penchant for both sherry and aquavit, not to mention bittersweet artichoke liqueurs - hardly mass market then. Nor are Aston Martin cars but I want one.

Be warned - use the wrong sherry and this drink falls apart - don't be tempted to sub manzanilla with a fino.

As a lover of all three of these ingredients i was expecting fireworks- it did not disappoint. Great quality Manzanilla and Aquavit are needed (lucky i have both Spanish and Norwegian relatives!). This one is on heavy rotation (still no sign of the Aston Martin though…!)

If Aston Martin by Yanni Kehagiaras, then I'm now on the case.

Guy Daniels Premium Member 1y

Ooh! I had to look that one up… looks tasty. I have the ingredients- ready for your expert take on it (lets face it, it’s the only way i’m going to have an Aston Martin!)

Would a dry vermouth work in place of manzanillla, or just a different flavour profile altogether?

Simon Difford Verified User Premium Member 2y

Dry vermouth is very different, but you could use a fino sherry in place of manzanilla sherry.

John CARR Premium Member 2y

Okay. Just that I noted in the review your caution re swapping manzanilla for fino..?

I made this to use up a couple of bottles that I’m not a big fan of, but I was pleasantly surprised at how good this turned out. Definitely better for me than the sum of its parts.
