Bartender Stories

Sian Ferguson-Nagan

Not kidding, I dated a guy who called himself an Adonis. I found this cocktail and laughed. And then had to try it. It's actually named after an 1884 Broadway musical and uses dry sherry, which in all honesty, very few people know what to do with after they buy it for the elderly visiting relatives at Christmas. Try this for a sophisticated Mars vs. Venus kind of cocktail party. A throw down between SJP's Cosmo and Mark's (not his real name) Adonis.
