Splendid Sherry Seltzer (VG) from 60 Second Cocktails

“Looking for a wonderful, refreshing way to revitalize that leftover sherry? Well, this is it! Whether it’s the drier style fino (which we use here) or manzanilla, the slightly more complex and darker oloroso, Bristol cream, or even the sticky-sweet, rich Pedro Ximénez, sherry makes a terrific concentrated base for a deliciously simple long drink.” Joel Harrison and Neil Ridley, authors of 60 Second Cocktails

Ice

3 parts sherry – for a drier drink, use fino or manzanilla, or for a richer, nuttier result, try oloroso

5 parts tonic water

A large wine glass

A thin piece of lemon peel

Add the ice to the glass, pour over the sherry and then slowly pour in the tonic water. Squeeze the lemon peel over the top of the drink to express the oils (see page 22 of 60 Second Cocktails) and add to the glass to garnish.
