Pronounced 'Hera-Zana', this delicious stirred cocktail combines two sherries and two vermouths with faint vanilla richness balanced by pronounced orange...
Very interesting sounding cocktail. Wish I could try it but it has 4 different wine based ingredients and I rarely have 2 at a time at home. If you get the opportunity to try this one I would.
Today's blend: Hartley & Gibson Manzanilla, Lustau Amontillado, Cinzano Rosso, Noilly Prat Dry, vanilla syrup (1/4 tsp vanilla extract to 1/2 oz 2:1 cane simple syrup), 6 dashes Fee Bros West Indian Orange bitters... Quite fantastic!... I'm not a fan of the Fee Bros products, but their bitters worked wonderfully here.
I had amontillado and fino sherries. No vanilla sugar and wanting a little more punch, I added an equal amount of Canadian Whiskey. Pretty decent...LOTS of toffee and a bit of a bite.
