I’d go siofar as to say that selection of most of the ingredients can significantly alter this, not just the sherry. I also tried ford’s versus four pillars gin, and Dolin versus Cocchi Storico. Quite different beasts. The lighter vermouth worked quite well, emphasising the aperitif qualities, and less tendency to overwhelm the sherry. Still not sure of this one; needs further experiments 😉

I tried it with a London Dry, Fino Sherry, Noilly Prat, and a Martini Riserva Speciale Rubino and I must say that this version, although it seems 'simple', evolves quite complex. I accompanied it with an after dinner cheese and what a match !

I upped the gin a little, because gin. Used Amontillado. Interesting! It reminded me of a less-sweet Martinez.

I used Amontillado sherry, which gave it a dry, slightly acidic taste. Quite a complex drink. Glad this was for a Nick & Nora. Anything larger may have been too much. Will have to try other Sherries to see how it changes.

Was looking for a unique cocktail for International Gin Day. The name caught my eye, and decided to try.
What a great way to observe the day and a perfect aperitif with nuts and cheese. Bursts of flavours which change as the cocktail has a chance to breathe. It is small, but does deliver with great taste.

Seconded. But why such small quantities?

Delicious.
