Dale Degroff's 2008 take on the Adonis, shaken with dry vermouth, dry sherry and orange juice. Orange bitters and orange peel keep it citrusy, with a touch of nutmeg.

The Adonis dates back to the 1800s and was named after a Broadway production, though nobody knows who first made it. Dale Degroff's variation appears in the book "The Essential Cocktail" by Dale Degroff.
