Comments
This creation showcases a well-balanced mix of sweet and dry sherry that harmonizes beautifully with the citrus and tropical notes. The maraschino layer adds a delightful twist. It's refreshing and smooth; however, I would recommend slightly reducing the sugar syrup if you prefer a less sweet drink.
