Sherry: The Story of Your Auntie's Favorite Drink (Part 1) - with Bob Gardner

This week, we are once again joined by the wonderful Bob Gardner to talk about Sherry! We first dive into what sherry is, exactly. How is it made, where it's from, and why it's so unappreciated!

Cocktail Discussed:

Non Plus Ultra

2 oz. Valdespino "Tio Diego" Amontillado Sherry

1/3 oz. Calwise Smoked Cherry Gin

1 sugar cube

2 orange slices

Muddle the sugar cube with a little bit of water in the bottom of a shaker tin. Add the two orange slices, and muddle further. Add the remaining ingredients and fill the shaker with pebble ice. Shake until well chilled, and pour into a julip cup or double rocks glass. Top with fresh pebble ice, garnish with a straw and an additional orange slice, and serve.
