I’ve been dying to try this after Kaitlyn (@likeablecocktails) did a video on this weeks ago.
Sherry in cocktails is my love language, and if you don’t have a bottle of a few different varieties, are you even a pretentious bartender? (that’s a joke silly, calm your tits)
There’s a hit of complexity thanks to the Manzanilla that really brings this home for me. This cocktail is a sour at heart, but there’s a lovely balance of nuance and citrus that I can’t help but enjoy — probably again and again.
I give my official rating at the end of the video.
