Sherry Cocktail, Chilean Recipe

Versión en español

This Sherry Cocktail, know as Vaina (seed pod) in Chile, was my favorite when I went to the  Viña del Mar casino. I still really enjoy it, it’s a light cocktail nice for before dinner.

Unfortunately, I don’t know anything about its origins or history.
