About

From before Prohibition, low enough in alcohol to have more than one: the dryness of the sherry against the sweetness of the vermouth, no spirit in between. Sherry and vermouth make up the whole base, without gin or whiskey. Stir and strain: serving without cubes does not mean serving without dilution.
