el tesoro de jerez

2 oz Aviation Gin (Tree House Von Bingen)
3/4 oz Lustau East India Solera Sherry
1/2 oz Domaine de Canton Ginger Liqueur (Barrow's)

Stir with ice, strain into a coupe glass, and garnish with a lemon twist.
Two Wednesdays ago, I decided to make a recipe that I had spotted on KindredCocktails called the El Tesoro de Jerez. The recipe was attributed to Euclides Lopez at PDT in 2010 through the PDT Cocktails app, and given the name, I was expecting an agave-based drink with sherry instead of a gin one. In the glass, it proffered lemon, ginger, grape, and pine aromas. Next, the sherry's grape blossomed in the sip, and the swallow rounded things off with juniper, ginger, and nutty-raisiny grape flavors on the swallow.
