About

Now, this is a cocktail I’ve heard about for so long and I’ve FINALLY gotten around to making it. I don’t often lean towards “low abv” cocktails, which is why I held off on this…but to summarize this in one word: Magical. Like wow, whoa, WOAHOHO.

To describe this, I’d say it’s like a savory version of a daiquiri. It’s just so delicious, you have to give it a try. And if you haven’t yet owned a bottle of amontillado sherry? Read more about it and why you need to own a bottle (along with some recipes inspo)!
