Dulce y Salado Recipe

Chantal Tseng of Mockingbird Hill in Washington, D.C. created this coffee-sherry marriage when playing around with the salty-sweet profile of Amoroso or cream sherry. She added peanut liqueur and the rest is a sweet, nutty history. This drink is served at room temperature.
Tseng uses Lustau East India Solera sherry for this recipe, which is made in the cream sherry style from a mix of Oloroso and Pedro Ximénez sherries. Castries Peanut Rum Creme Liqueur is available at liquor stores and online here and here.
