ABOUT
This cocktail was created in 2008 by Thomas Waugh at Death & Company in New York City. I’m a big fan of sherry cocktails, so any time I stumble across one, I immediately bookmark it. The nutty sherry pairs beautifully with the fruit, and the gin provides a botanical base that lets the flavors come together in a nutty, sweet, complex way. Cheers y’all!
