Shoemaker is a delicate and delicious sherry cocktail and thanks to a relatively low ABV one can enjoy quite a few of those in succession.

Base of the cocktail is formed by fino sherry and its delicate floral, herbal notes breathing life to this cocktail. Lime juice brings some fragrant tartness to the mix which are then kept in check by honey syrup. Floral honey tones blend nicely into the drink reinforcing and expanding on the base flavour profile of sherry. Orange bitters delicately seasons the cocktail and brings individual notes together with a subtle hint of bitterness.

All in all, Shoemaker is a remarkably simple well-balanced cocktail with complex floral flavour profile. Delicious to the very last drop and absolutely worth a try.
