Francisco Aroca

45 ml (1.5 oz) Brandy de Jerez

22.5 ml (0.75 oz) Oloroso sherry

15 ml (0.5 oz) Sweet vermouth (rosso)

7.5 ml (0.25 oz) Pedro Ximénez sherry

2 dashes Orange bitters

1 dash Angostura bitters

1 piece Orange peel

1 piece Manzanilla olive

Chill a double Old Fashioned glass; skewer the Manzanilla olive and set aside.

Add Brandy de Jerez, Oloroso sherry, sweet vermouth, Pedro Ximénez sherry, orange bitters, and Angostura bitters to a mixing glass with plenty of ice. Stir for 20–25 seconds until well chilled and silky.

Strain over a large clear ice cube into the chilled glass. Express the orange peel over the surface, then garnish with the twist and rest the olive skewer across the rim—ready for a podium-worthy sip.
