Sherry- The Story of Your Auntie's Favorite Drink (Part 2)

This week, we continue our discussion of all things sherry with Bob Gardner! Having discussed the production of sherry, we now turn to its history. Why is sherry so beloved by the British? Why is it so integral to the sherry triangle? And what does Sir Francis Drake have to with it all? We answer all of these questions and more this week?

Drink Discussed:

1 1/2 oz. Valdespino Innocente Manzanilla Sherry

1 1/2 oz. Noilly Prat Dry Vermouth

1/4 oz. Lagavulin 12 Year Special

1 drop Angostura Bitters

1 drop Angostura Orange Bitters

Combine all ingredients in a mixing glass with ice, and stir until well chilled. Strain into a coupe glass, and serve with a lemon twist.
