A dry, Sherry forward cocktail. I used Amontillado and it really gave the cocktail the woody/tobacco, herbal flavor typical of the Amontillado. The taste will really vary with the sherry you use.

This is a good aperitivo. I must admit, I am not the biggest fan of sherry, so if you are a fan of sherry, I really think you will like this. Its is nicely dry so perfect for before dinner.

This Mai Tai riff is equally good and becomes a Mexican Mai Tai when made with añejo tequila in place of aged rum

Rum funkiness and amaro bitterness combine in the bittersweet after-dinner sipper. For a less potent version use cachaça in place of the over-proof rum
