Sherry Cocktail “Chilean Vaina”

Versión en español

Sherry Cocktail, Chilean RecipeThis 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 lunch or dinner. It’s more popular during winter times than summer.

Unfortunately, I don’t know anything about its origins or history, but it’s an old traditional one in Chile.

Any bar in Chile will be able to make a good Vaina for you. So give it a try.
