Cocktail Description
A sophisticated riff on the margarita, the Sherry Fiesta brings centuries of Spanish winemaking tradition to Mexico's national spirit.
This elegant cocktail combines the woody vanilla notes of reposado tequila with the nutty complexity of dry amontillado sherry, while orange marmalade adds a bittersweet depth that perfectly balances the bright acidity of fresh lime juice. The agave syrup rounds out the sharp edges, and the spicy-tangy chamoy and Tajín rim delivers a punch of flavor with each sip. Despite requiring several specialty ingredients, the Sherry Fiesta is surprisingly straightforward to make—just shake, strain, and serve. This cocktail shines as an aperitif at dinner parties or as a sophisticated option for brunch gatherings. The drink's layered complexity makes it an excellent match for Mexican street foods like tacos al pastor, grilled seafood dishes, or anything with a hint of smoke and spice.
