Dry Sherry

Dry Sherry Cocktail Ingredient

Wine

Dry sherry is a fortified wine from Spain, known for its nutty, saline, and slightly oxidized flavor profile. It’s often used in cocktails to add complexity, depth, and a savory edge, especially in low-ABV or aperitif-style drinks. Cocktails like the Bamboo or Adonis highlight its unique character and pair it with vermouth and bitters. Its dry, crisp nature also makes it an excellent complement to gin or whiskey in inventive, balanced cocktails.
