Valencia Martini
A Martini-style drink but using fino sherry instead of vermouth. Crisp and dry

Made this with Xoriguer gin and Tio Pepe and it's a very good cocktail; it stands up to snacks very well. I suspect it would even cope with bhajis etc. Definitely needs a tasty gin.

Excellent cocktail. The sherry is a bit stronger than the vermouth. Did find if you add a few drops of Orange Bitters the flavour pops.
Feel you could also garnish with green olives as the sherry flavour would stand up to the briny.

Made mine with Manzanilla Sherry and loved it.

Used Maior Spanish gin and it was delicious!

NA version of Gordon's does not work in this (bland). Would probably try this again with Tanqueray, or something similar or more distinctive.

Fabulous. My new favorite. So crisp and sophisticated
