Manzanilla Martini
Early Summer 2018
Dry sherry has a distinctly savoury profile, making it an ideal companion to tapas. It also makes a fine and fascinating partner to gin in this take on a Dirty Martini. It’s only fitting, then, to garnish this beauty with a slice or two of one of Spain’s best exports—smoky, unctuous chorizo.
