Moscatel sherry
Use the same amount, but it has roughly half the sugar. Add about three-quarters of a barspoon of 2:1 syrup per 15 ml. The drink gets lighter, with less raisin depth.
It has about a third of the sugar and is less syrupy. Add a barspoon of 2:1 syrup per 15 ml. The drink again gets lighter, with less raisin depth.
Dry Pedro Ximénez table wine
Do not use. A table wine from the same grape makes the drink watery. Check that the bottle is the sweet sherry made from raisined grapes.
On the label
- Pedro Ximénez
- Both the grape and the style. The grapes are sun-dried before pressing, which is where the raisin concentration comes from.
