This is a delicious version of the bamboo and prefer this over a 1:1 sherry and blanc combo! I used Amontillado instead of Fino sherry and worked great. Orange bitters and zest elevate the drink. My favorite low ABV cocktail.

I made this with Amontillado and Noilly Prat, Cocchi Americano, and Punt e Mes, with Regan's for the bitters... Looking at my notes over the past 5 years, this recipe (divvying up the vermouth) is clearly my favorite.

Tried this with an Amontillado Medium and Noilly Prat for both the dry and sweet vermouths. Tasty, but mostly still tasted like I was drinking the Amontillado, despite the generous portions of vermouth. I’d prefer my Amontillado straight.
