SHERRY AND BITTERS
This elegant pre-prohibition cocktail elevates a simple glass of sherry into a sophisticated aromatic experience. By coating the interior of the glass with Angostura bitters, the fortified wine picks up complex herbal notes and a rich, spicy undertone without overpowering its delicate character. It serves as a perfect, refined aperitif that highlights the nutty and savory qualities of the sherry.

- 2 1/2 ounces Sherry (Quantity estimated for a standard sherry glass (approx. 75ml). Use a dry Fino or Amontillado for a traditional aperitif.)
Instructions
- 1Add the Angostura bitters directly into a sherry glass or small copita.
- 2Gently roll and tilt the glass until the bitters have entirely coated the inside surface.
- 3Fill the coated glass with Sherry and serve immediately.
