Ginger Finito

Cocktail Description

The Ginger Finito is the perfect highball for those who find gin and tonics boring but aren't ready to venture into cocktail complexity.

This refreshing drink marries the bone-dry, yeasty character of Fino sherry with the spicy sweetness of ginger ale, creating a surprisingly sophisticated yet approachable flavor profile. The Valdespino Inocente brings notes of almonds, sea salt, and green apples that dance beautifully with the warming ginger, while the lemon zest spiral adds a bright aromatic element with each sip. Perfect for warm afternoons or as an aperitif before dinner, this cocktail works wonderfully with Spanish tapas, particularly manchego cheese, olives, or anything with anchovies. The Ginger Finito couldn't be simpler to prepare—just pour and stir—making it ideal for entertaining or when you want something elevated but effortless. It's particularly suited to seafood dishes, where the sherry's saline quality enhances briny flavors in everything from oysters to grilled fish.
