The Menorcan Sherry-Ferry draws inspiration from Pedro Chicote’s sherry quina cocktails of the late 1940s, blending it with elements of Spanish gins and the classic Negroni structure. It features a vino amaro as the bitter component and replaces vermouth with sherry quina. The cocktail also incorporates Spanish bitters that bring chamomile notes and a spicy edge to the juniper and wine flavors. Mahón Gin, distilled on Menorca for over three centuries using only local juniper berries, provides an intense juniper profile.
