Sherry Cocktail Recipe

Fino Sherry
Sherry is a fortified wine of Spanish origin. This is a fortified wine made from the white palomino grapes that grow near the city of Jerez de la Frontera in Andalusia, Spain. The name Sherry is the anglicisation of Xérès (Jerez).
Sherry is produced in several styles including light sherries like Manzanilla and fino, similar to white table wines, and darker and heavier wines such as Amontillado and oloroso, that are allowed to oxidise as they age in barrels.
Sherry is fortified with grape spirit after the fermentation is complete, where as Port, a similar wine from Portugal is fortified half way through the fermentation which stops further fermentation of sugar into alcohol. Thus, Port is sweeter and Sherry is usually Dry and sweetness if any is added later.
So, Dry Sherry is essentially the wine which has completed fermentation and has little to no sugar from the grapes left in it.
There are naturally sweet Sherry too, Moscatel, made from the grapes by the same name and they are produced like Port, that is, fermentation is stopped mid way, and there is Pedro Ximénez too.Absinthe Herbal Liqueur
Absinthe is an anise flavoured spirit derived from several plants including grand wormwood. green anise and fennel ,along with other medicinal and culinary herbs. Absinthe is Swiss in origin, and was created in the late 18th Century, it rose to tremendous popularity in the late 19th and early 20th Century among Parisian artists and writers, and became associated with the Bohemian culture and notoriety.
Earnest Hemmingway, James Joyce, Charles Baudelaire, Toulouse-Lautrec, Pablo Picasso, Vincent Van Gogh, Oscar Wilde, Edgar Allan Poe, Lord Byron to name a few celebrated auteurs and thinkers who were Absinthe aficionados and it's needless to say their association took Absinthe to an unprecedented popularity and notoriety at the same time. It also has the reputation of being a psychoactive drug and hallucinogen, although these claims don't have any scientific evidence, resulting in Absinthe ban in USA and Europe for a long period.
Absinthes are of two types, distilled and cold mixed. Distilled Absinthe used a technique similar to Gin where the distillation removes the undesired herbal bitter influences while producing the clear spirit with the desired complexity and aroma retained in it.
Cold mixed Absinthe is produced using the inexpensive process of blending flavouring essencs and artificial colouring in commercial alcohol, just as flavoured Vodka is produced by infusion, it is this Cold Mixed Absinthe that can reach as high as 90% ABV. Beware that due to the lack of Absinthe regulations in many countries. producers falsify advertising claims like, referring to their product as "distilled".Maraschino Liqueur
Maraschino Liqueuris a liqueur of Marasca Cherries. these small, sour cherries are fruit of the Tapiwa Cherry Tree that grow wild along the Dalmatian coast of Croatia, and the distilled liqueur has a unique aroma.
