A blend of sherry and sweet <a href=\"https:\/\/www.masterofmalt.com\/vermouth\/\">vermouth<\/a>, it\u2019s called the Adonis!<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the joys of cocktails is also one of the main drawbacks: they are just so damned drinkable. Traditional spirit-forward cocktails are essentially ways of making high-strength alcohol go down easily through the magic of chilling and sweetening. You have to sip a glass of rye, whereas a Manhattan is gone before you know it. A cocktail is a booze delivery system; perfect for when you want that jolt of alcohol.<\/span><\/p>\n<h5><strong>Sherry, the bartender&#8217;s secret weapon<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But what about when you don\u2019t? Happily, there is an answer, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.masterofmalt.com\/wine\/fortified-wine\/sherry\/\">sherry<\/a>. A good aged sherry, whether it\u2019s a fino, amontillado, palo cortado, oloroso or PX, will have much of the complexity of whisky. Both get their flavours from barrel ageing and, indeed, many whiskies are aged in ex-sherry casks so they actually taste of sherry.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Combine your sherry with a decent bottle of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.masterofmalt.com\/vermouth\/\">vermouth<\/a>, especially one from the sherry region, and you have a recipe for extreme cocktail deliciousness but with less than half of the alcohol. You can make a great Dry Martini substitute by stirring one part Fino with one part dry vermouth with ice and strain into a coupe with a dash of orange bitters. This is known as a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.masterofmalt.com\/blog\/post\/sherry-the-bartenders-secret-weapon.aspx\">Bamboo<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<h5><strong>Strong name, not-so-strong drink<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But today, we\u2019re making something more like a Manhattan called the Adonis. The recipe\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">comes from a book called <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Schofield\u2019s Fine and Classic Cocktails<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. It\u2019s written by two brothers from Manchester, Joe and Daniel Schofield. Between them, they have won many many awards, worked in cocktail bars all over the world, including the American Bar at the Savoy, and collaborated with another pair of brothers, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.masterofmalt.com\/blog\/post\/forest-hill-meets-milan-in-the-britannica-london-fernet.aspx\">Asterley Bros<\/a>, on a vermouth. Now, all that learning and experience can be found in one place. The book contains advice on making cocktails as well as classic and modern recipes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Adonis is named not after the figure from Greek mythology nor the Labour peer and educational reformer, Lord Adonis, but after a musical. Adonis was a long-running Broadway show in the late 19th century. It\u2019s part of the long line of cocktails named after shows like the Rob Roy, and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.masterofmalt.com\/blog\/post\/cocktail-of-the-week-the-pink-lady.aspx\">Pink Lady<\/a>. Sadly this habit of naming cocktails after musicals seems to have died out. One can almost imagine a Miss Saigon or an Oliver! though I wouldn\u2019t fancy a Les Miserables.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_24099\" style=\"width: 780px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-24099\" class=\"size-large wp-image-24099\" src=\"https:\/\/www.masterofmalt.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Adonis-crop-1024x515.jpg\" alt=\"The Adonis cocktail\" width=\"770\" height=\"387\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.masterofmalt.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Adonis-crop-1024x515.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.masterofmalt.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Adonis-crop-300x151.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.masterofmalt.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Adonis-crop-768x386.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-24099\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Adonis, not as strong as you&#8217;d expect from the name<\/p><\/div>\n<h5><strong>How to make the Adonis<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Traditionally the Adonis is made with Fino sherry but the Schofield brothers have suggested using an Oloroso instead to make it richer. The Alfonso from Gonzalez Byass offers amazing richness and power for the money. The Schofields recommend their collaborative vermouth (well, they would, wouldn\u2019t they?) but I have defied them and kept it 100% Jerez with La Copa, also from Gonzalez Byass.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The other non-trad element is sugar syrup; the brothers write: \u201csugar is a great flavour carrier and works well here, enhancing the relatively subtle sherry and vermouth. You won\u2019t find this extra touch of sweetness in traditional versions of the drink, but we like how it underscores all the flavour notes\u201d. If you like a fresher drink, feel free to leave out the sugar syrup. Or, even better, if you have some PX sherry knocking around, then add a little of that instead.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The result is something with all the depth of flavour of a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.masterofmalt.com\/blog\/post\/cocktail-of-the-week-the-manhattan.aspx\">Manhattan<\/a> or Rob Roy, but with much less alcohol. A classic two parts rye to one-part vermouth Manhattan will be around 35% ABV; the sherry version weighs in at less than 17% ABV. And it\u2019s cheaper too. Your doctor and bank manager will be pleased.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Right, let\u2019s make an Adonis.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">30ml <a href=\"https:\/\/www.masterofmalt.com\/sherry\/gonzalez-byass\/gonzalez-byass-alfonso-oloroso-seco-sherry\">Gonzalez Byass Alfonso Oloroso<\/a><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">30ml <a href=\"https:\/\/www.masterofmalt.com\/vermouth\/gonzalez-byass\/gonzalez-byass-vermouth-la-copa-vermouth\/\">Gonzalez Byass La Copa vermouth<\/a><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2 dashes of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.masterofmalt.com\/bitters\/fee-brothers-orange-bitters\/\">Fee Brothers orange bitters<\/a><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00bd teaspoon of sugar syrup or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.masterofmalt.com\/other-fortified\/alvear\/alvear-pedro-ximenez-de-anada-other-fortified\/\">PX sherry<\/a> (optional)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Add all the ingredients into a mixing glass or shaker with ice, and give it a good stir.
