Finalist in the 2015 U.S. Sherry Cocktail Competition
La Frontera is simple, rich, and flavorful. It's a great vehicle for exploring Sherry in a new way at the end of a meal.
Ingredients
Directions
In the following order, combine the ingredients in a shaker: lemon juice, orgeat, Smith and Cross Rum, Amontillado, then egg. Add 5-6 walnut-sized chunks of ice and shake with gusto until well chilled (20-30 seconds). Strain off ice and shake again to build the body of the cocktail (another 10-15 seconds). Fine-strain into your chilled stemware, such as an oversized martini glass. Finish the cocktail by spraying a mist of Cavendish tobacco tincture over the top. Enjoy.
serving and consuming
Pairing Amontillado with food
Amontillado should be served at a temperature of between 12 and 14º C.
It is an ideal wine to accompany soups and consommés, white meat, blue fish (tuna), wild mushrooms and semi-cured cheeses.
It combines perfectly with vegetables such as asparagus and artichokes.
