Cocktail Description
The Adonis is what might happen if Spain and Italy decided to reinvent the Manhattan together over a sunset aperitivo.
This sophisticated cocktail marries the bone-dry salinity of Valdespino Inocente Fino Sherry with the rich, herbaceous character of Martini & Rossi Rosso Sweet Vermouth, balanced by bright accents from Angostura Orange Bitters. The result is a complex sipper that starts crisp and nutty before revealing subtle notes of dried fruit, herbs, and a pleasant bittersweet finish. Remarkably simple to prepare—just stir and strain—it's an excellent choice for pre-dinner drinking or alongside tapas, particularly Spanish classics like Manchego cheese, jamón ibérico, or marcona almonds. This cocktail shines brightest as an early evening aperitif when you want something lower in alcohol than a traditional spirit-forward cocktail but with all the nuance and depth.
