Our take on this classic cocktail has a tad more sherry than is standard, and features a flamed orange peel for a finishing citrus touch.
This recipe was featured as part of our Drinks Around the World story.
INGREDIENTS
- 1 1/2 ounces dry sherry
- 1 ounce dry vermouth
- Dash Aromatic Bitters
- Ice
- Orange peel, for garnish
INSTRUCTIONS
- Combine all ingredients except the orange peel in a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Shake vigorously and strain into a cocktail glass.
- Garnish with a flamed orange peel.
Okay, I was pulled in by the idea of this drink, but the actual cocktail turns out rather unappealing. Bland, a little too bitter, and not much kick.
I tossed it down and filled the glass with bourbon, a dash of bitters, and a new orange peel, over ice. Much happier.
