BAMBOO COCKTAIL
This sophisticated low-proof cocktail marries the nutty, oxidized notes of sherry with the rich, herbal sweetness of Italian vermouth. The equal-parts formulation creates a delicate yet complex flavor profile that is stirred to a silky, chilled perfection. Served in a chilled cocktail glass, this elegant drink offers a lighter, aromatic alternative to spirit-heavy classics.
