Surf & Turf

Dry sherry adds a slight salty 'surf' note to this riff on the classic Turf Club Cocktail

The original recipe is also very enjoyable: more straightforward and, with good ingredients, a wonderful rich step back in time to flavour. Used manzanilla as it was to hand.

Lacking the suggested caperberry garnish I tried fresh chamomile flowers, but didn’t quite work. Drink is layered and complex. Easy to overdo the absinthe, as elsewhere. There’s a lot going on here with the salty, sweet, fruity, botanical, dry and bitter flavours each taking their turn to present themselves. Seems like quite a busy congregation.

Have you changed this recipe? I'm sure I remember it having aromatic bitters and no Maraschino.

Well spotted. I'd forgotten the change and had to refer to my notes. I've added the previous recipe above.
