Author Notes

Sure, this cocktail fits with our love of sherry and has a timeless classiness, just like M. F. K. herself—but Fisher's angle in How to Cook a Wolf, her World War II-era treatise on kitchen thrift, was that sherry was cheap, and recommended buying it by the gallon. Adapted slightly from —Food52
