1. Combine Sherry and Soda Water
Start by pouring the chilled sherry into a large glass jug or pitcher, followed by the chilled soda water. This keeps your drink refreshingly cool right from the beginning.
2. Add Lemon Juice and Sugar
Next, add the fresh lemon juice and sugar to the pitcher. Stir the mixture well until the sugar completely dissolves, ensuring you have a consistent taste throughout the drink.
3. Add Ice Cubes
Once your base is well mixed, add a generous amount of ice cubes to the pitcher. This will not only keep your spritz cold but also help dilute the drink slightly, making it even more refreshing.
4. Serve and Garnish
Finally, pour the mixture into tall glasses filled with ice cubes. Garnish each glass with a few fresh mint leaves for a touch of color and a hint of minty aroma. Your Andalusian Sherry Spritz is now ready to enjoy!
Opt for a high-quality Amontillado or Oloroso Sherry and use a reputable sweet vermouth as lower quality can ruin the balance of the drink.
Chill the Sherry and vermouth beforehand to ensure the spritz is refreshing and the ice melts slowly, preventing flavor dilution.
Use freshly opened soda water to guarantee maximum fizz and invigorate the texture of the spritz.
Stick to the recipe’s proportions to maintain the balance between the nuttiness of the sherry, the sweetness of the vermouth, and the citrusy kick of the orange liqueur.
Squeeze the orange twist over the glass to release essential oils, adding a fragrant citrus aroma to the drink.
