The Art of the Mix Drink: The Addonis Cocktail

The Addonis Cocktail
1 Dash Orange Bitters
.75 oz. Sweet Vermouth
1.5 oz. Dry Sherry Wine
Shake well with cracked ice and strain into 3 oz. cocktail glass.

After already acquiring the Orange Bitters for The Abbey Cocktail, the only struggle here was the Sherry wine which comes in a variety of flavors. I went with a Sandeman Medium Dry Amontillado Sherry which seemed like a good 'middle of the road' choice. The results was a solid after dinner drink but still along the strong side. Like the Abbey, I suggest keeping the ice in the drink or adding another element to cut it.

Next up, the Affinity Cocktail!
