Jabberwocky

Starring Manzanilla

Lewis Carroll was a renaissance man of his time, and so too can this cocktail shine in a multitude of contexts, though as Carroll was at his best with the pen, our Jabberwocky cocktail most certainly shines brightest alongside a slain jabberwocky beast of Grilled Octopus with smoked paprika, buttered potatoes, preserved lemon, capers, and parsley.

"Oh, frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!"

Thanks to its low acidity, it is, together with Fino, the perfect choice to accompany salads, cold soups and dressings.
