Adonis
Some describe the Adonis as "The sweet version of the Bamboo" but that hardly does this brilliant vintage aperitivo/digestivo, that's off-dry and aromatic...

This cocktail is right up my alley! Sadly, I don't have access to oloroso sherry where I'm at. Would it be worth it to replace the oloroso with another type of dry sherry (if so, which one?), or would that mess up the drink entirely? If the oloroso is subbed, should I change the proportions as well? Thanks for this very informative website!

I came to this via the fortified wine page which lists the recipe as using fino - which is what I'm enjoying now. With the range of sherry and vermouth available nowadays it's going to be a lot of fun to work out my preferred recipe https://www.diffordsguide.com/beer-wine-spirits/category/1/wine-fortified

Sounds like you'll need to try with fino and amontillado. Depending on the richness of your amontillado, I'd try a 50/50 mix of both sherries as your starting point.

FYI, I don't have access to Palo Cortado either, only Fino or Amontillado.
