No. 14, Loma
“ This low-ABV cocktail is crafted with cryo-concentrated sherry, vermouth, scotch, figs, green cardamom and chamomile. It undergoes a unique process of washing and clarification. First, Fino sherry is frozen to extract the alcohol, then a small amount of fig, chamomile, vermouth and scotch is added. Finally, the mixture is washed with Salvadoran crema. Loma’ s No. 14 is inspired by the Bamboo cocktail, a classic sherry cocktail made with Amontillado sherry, dry vermouth and bitters. The clarified drink has a slightly dry, salty and fruity flavor profile, and is served in a rocks glass with a perfectly cut cube of ice and garnished with dehydrated fig.” instagram. com / loma _ bar
