After making the Royal Street Royale, I wanted to keep things on the lighter side, so I opted for a sherry recipe that I had spotted on the BarNotes app. That drink was the El Rey crafted by Nick Jarrett at the Clover Club in 2010 as a sherry egg white Sour. Once prepared, it gave forth a nutty sherry and orange peel aroma that led into a creamy, semi-dry grape and lemon-flavored sip. Next, the Amontillado's oxidized nuttiness came through on the swallow with a lightly spiced finish. Overall, it was light and playful yet elegant.
