Sherry Twist

 It's Fall and this year I'm doing a lot of rich sherry drinks to celebrate differently! There's plenty of wine and grape flavor in the Sherry Twist, and with a minimum of citrus, it really amounts to a strong fruity drink. I used Catoctin Creek grape brandy for an even more smooth and even cocktail.

• 2 oz. sherry
• 1 oz. brandy
• 1/2 oz. dry vermouth
• 1/2 oz. triple sec
• 1/2 tsp. lemon juice
• orange twist

Combine all ingredients except twist in a shaker with ice. Shake and strain into a chilled cocktail glass.
