Review:
The choice of sherry greatly impacts the Explorer. Made with cream sherry, as per the original recipe, brings out the rich marzipan notes in the amaretto to produce a richer after-dinner cocktail.
In contrast, a fino sherry dries this cocktail to make it more apéritif in style with nutty flavours to the fore.
Amontillado sherry (as in our rendition) amplifies butterscotch and is best served on the rocks in an old-fashioned as a late-night tipple. An extremely versatile equal parts recipe to appeal to all palates.
History:
Adapted from a cocktail discovered by a fellow Discerning Drinker in 2019 at Sandals Resort in Barbados, where it's made with Harvey's Bristol Cream Sherry rather than Amontillado sherry.
