A blend of Gin and Sherry, the perfect Sherry Cocktail.
I am a big fan of substituting dry vermouth with fino in a dry martini. The result is way more interesting and provides the drink with a salty and yeasty finish, which works well with any dry gin. I tend to keep the fino in the stirring glass rather than draining it. It does make the drink a wet martini with a 2:1 ratio but it is after all a ‘fino martini’.
