About

A Haitian rum and mezcal old fashioned, sweetened with Pedro Ximénez sherry instead of sugar. It came from a sherry bar in the East Village that named its drinks after marriage. Pedro Ximénez is the sweet sherry that takes sugar's place. Dry sherry does not supply the same sweetness at this ratio.
