Such a sumptuous Margarita. We replace the 30ml of Manzanilla Sherry with 20ml of a Rutherglen (downunder) Aged Dry Flor (Apera)...at 18% ABV, it's a bigger Sherry than many.
For us this was pleasant enough, if a bit one-dimensional. Things got a bit more interesting when we added a dash or two of grapefruit bitters.
In a world over-brimming with 'look at me!' cocktails (Exhibit A: the fake, dud Pornstar Martini) this is a very welcome relief. Perfectly simple, beautifully balanced and charmingly modest. Bravo.
So it's basically a Florentine Margarita. Perfectly balanced and absolutely delicious. Is there no history to its creation?
