SHERRY AND BITTERS

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.

Ingredients

  • 2 dashes Angostura bitters (Originally specified as 'Dr. Siegert's genuine Angostura Bitters'.)
  • 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

  1. 1Add the Angostura bitters directly into a sherry glass or small copita.
  2. 2Gently roll and tilt the glass until the bitters have entirely coated the inside surface.
  3. 3Fill the coated glass with Sherry and serve immediately.
