11277 Poe’s Finnish (Yes, it’s spelled correctly!) 1 minute 1 minute 2 Mon Dec 03 18:07:02 -0800 2007 Wed Dec 05 14:34:15 -0800 2007 American User http://www.chow.com/recipes/11277 Wed, 05 Dec 2007 22:34:15 GMT I was learning to make martinis with a friend, but I had no vermouth. I did, however, have a bottle of Amontillado sherry. Coupled with Finlandia vodka and citrus, it turned out to be out of this world!

The name, by the way, is an allusion to Poe’s “Cask of the Amontillado” and the country of origin of the vodka.
