Finalist of the 2015 U.S. Sherry Cocktail Competition
This is a different, precariously balanced, and refreshing cocktail. Though the ingredients are strongly flavored, the Sherry vermouth is still the star.

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.
