Tom & Jerez
A dry sherry and pear sour laced with old tom gin and enriched with almond syrup. The garnish is a savoury distraction from the sweet and sourness

A bit underrated at 4 stars for my money! Old Tom and manzanilla is a great combination, and this is my favourite version of the pairing so far. Love the little hint of brine from the olives and the smooth note from the orgeat.
