Finalist in the 2015 US Sherry Cocktail Competition
There are no sharp corners here - just a round, velvety, and herbaceous experience. I often see Mezcal utilized in bright and citrusy cocktails, but I think a dry, salty Sherry combined with the rich lushness or amaro and quinquina completely transform the flavors of Mezcal. The Sherry counters the inherent, sweet viscosity of the other spirits and acts as the glue to tie everything together.
Ingredients
Directions
Combine all ingredients and stir. If using Kold Draft-style ice, crush a few cubes to ensure proper dilution, as this cocktail benefits from a slightly longer stir. Pour into a pre-chilled glass.

Pairing Manzanilla with food
Manzanilla combines perfectly with fish and seafood, as well as with salted fish and cured meats.
Thanks to its low acidity, it is, together with Fino, the perfect choice to accompany salads, cold soups and dressings.
