I love this website because I can put in random ingredients and come up with intriguing drinks. I used Fenando de Castillo Fino and Fenando de Castillo Blanco Vermouth and continuing the Spanish theme, Larios Mediterraneo gin. I loved this. A grown up cocktail where each component still made it's personality felt. Perfect with really good olives chu

I'm not a Bamboo fan and this didn't change my mind.

Utterly delicious, dangerously so given the strength of it! Used Four pillars navy strength and cut it back by a third as was not my first cocktail of the evening and feeling intimidated by the 58.8%! The savoury notes of the four pillars worked brilliantly.

And one of those drinks that improves as it warms a little.

Fresh bottles of Sherry and vermouth are essential here, to allow the finer notes to breathe.

Nutty & toffee notes indeed :)
Had to sub Lustau's Don Nuno Oloroso because no fino on hand & Carpano Bianco. Used Cote Des Saints a navy strength gin from Quebec (it's v. nice).
Though I had to sub all the recommended ingredients for as close as I could get using what I have, I would make this cocktail again in a heartbeat. Excellent!
