One of us wanted the Frangelico dialed up, and the other dialed down. On the average we did settle for 15 ml. (25 ml in one and 5 ml in the other) I get the enhancing of the nutty Oloroso flavour with the Frangelico, just don't let it overpower the Sherry.

Used Lustau Oloroso. The Frangelico definitely gave this the nutty flavor and it's an overall nice drink.

We have taken the frangelico down a little bit, and then used a dry oloroso instead of the fino. It keeps the nuttiness, but makes it rounder and slightly less sharp. We used Knightor’s dry vermouth. Next time we’ll try with a palo cortado. I think this is a bit underrated.

Agreed, less liqueur and dry oloroso sherry are delicious. I've amended the recipe accordingly. I also tried with palo cortado but nutty notes were more pronounced and overall cocktail better with oloroso. Many thanks, Nick.
