I finally opened up the bottle of Tio Pepe I purchased at Howe's going
out of business sale. This drink seemed like the best use of it. We
also tried an Adonis. (essentially a sherry manhattan). Both were
excellent, the cobbler was not quite sweet enough though so I added
more pineapple syrup.
The sherry cocktail is nice when you want something slightly less
alcoholic. Maybe at the end of the evening after a strong one.
