3⁄4 oz Amontillado Sherry
3⁄4 oz Vodka
3⁄4 oz Gran Classico
3⁄4 oz Sweet vermouth, Carpano Antica Formula
1 twst Lemon peel (expressed and discarded)
Instructions
Add ingredients to mixing glass, add ice, stir. Strain into chilled cocktail glass (Nick & Nora), express oils from lemon peel over top and discard peel.
Notes
Amontillado has a nuttiness that works well with Gran Classico and Carpano, but the combination can end up sweet and intense. Adding vodka to create an equal parts cocktail provides the right dilution of flavor and sweetness while maintaining the alcohol strength.
