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...

One of the very few drinks I have made from this website that I really did not care for. It opens nicely enough, but evolves into an almost sour component that I found unpleasant. I even checked my sherry (Harvey's), to ensure it hadn't gone off. I also tried scaled down versions with rye, madeira, and vermouth, and have come to the conclusion that the combination brings out something from the amaretto I just don't care for. I was finishing up a bottle of Disaronno, so YMMV with a different bran

This website is absolute garbage. Can't even copy and paste comments while they are being written, you don't have copyright over my words that I haven't even sent yet. Difford's is bad.

I apologise for the frustration. I agree unnecessary on comments. We are rebuilding what our comments system and this issue will be addressed when we launch in the early weeks of 2024.

Not being a big Sherry drinker, I approached this with some trepidation; however, Difford's has encouraged me to be willing to try new things. This was outstanding as an after-dinner drink. Did use the Amontillado sherry and it was perfect.

Much sweeter than the more interesting Brooklyn Godfather, and yet they are both mark as 5.

The Brooklyn Godfather is dried by being spirit-forward and I've changed to be a 6 to show that it's on the dry side. Many thanks for the observation, Richard.

If you are looking for something to make with Amontillado Sherry or Amaretto do try this. Now I must make it with a Fino. ++
