We continue loving low ABV sherry cocktails, also during winter. The suggested type of sherry for this cocktail is Palo Cortado, which is style-wise in between fino and oloroso. Now we didn’t have this bottle on hand so we used amontillado sherry instead – which we think worked fine. (There was a very interesting post about Palo Cortado sherry from Matthias over at @servedbysoberon some month ago).
What we think is so likable about sherry is that it somehow creates this luxurious ”Cognac-feeling” without being nowhere near as strong. We also liked what it’s mixed with in this recipe. Dry curaçao contributes with elegant citrus notes and the sweet Falernum balances everything nicely.
