Made this with Lustau Amontillado sherry and Linie Aquavit. Pretty incredible. Very complex and the flavours of each component play off each other incredibly well.

I knew it was only a matter of time until this cocktail became recognized by the world. It’s simply transcendent, and until it was made official here; only made truly phenomenal depending on your taste. I use Fino Jerez-Xeres sherry, Vikre Overvann, and Norseman Olympia Liqueur. It’s a cascade of bold flavors and complementary aromas
