A Winter Warmer to Beat the Chill: The Marty Cocktail Recipe You Need to Try

As winter sets in, who doesn't crave a warm, boozy drink that'll chase away the cold? Enter The Marty, a deliciously complex cocktail named after Marty Maraschino from the iconic film Grease. This revitalizing concoction combines three expertly chosen spirits - fino sherry, maraschino liqueur, and mezcal - which work in perfect harmony to create a truly unique taste experience.

To make this mouthwatering drink at home, you'll need the following ingredients: 25ml of Fernando de Castilla's fine fino sherry, 25ml Luxardo Maraschino liqueur, and 25ml Del Maguey Mezcal Vida. For garnish, a cherry soaked in sherry will add that extra special something.

While it may seem like an unusual combination at first, trust us when we say that The Marty is truly a winter warmer worth trying. So why not give it a go this season and keep the chill away?

Recipe:

- 25ml fino sherry
- 25ml maraschino liqueur
- 25ml mezcal

Instructions:

1. Fill a boston glass or jug with ice.
2. Add 25ml of fino sherry, 25ml of maraschino liqueur, and 25ml of mezcal to the glass.
3. Stir for 15-30 seconds to chill and dilute the drink.
4. Strain into a rocks glass filled with fresh ice.
5. Garnish with a cherry soaked in sherry, if desired.

For an extra special touch, try making your own boozy cherry at home by soaking stoned cherries in sherry for a week. Alternatively, a shop-bought version will also work just as well. Whichever method you choose, get ready to warm up and enjoy the unique taste of The Marty cocktail this winter season.

I'm so down for a drink that's gonna keep me cozy during these cold winters ! The combination of fino sherry, maraschino liqueur, and mezcal sounds kinda weird at first, but I love it - there's something about those bold flavors that just screams "winter warmer" to me. And a cherry soaked in sherry as garnish? Genius! My only concern is the price point for all these fancy ingredients... but hey, if you're feeling fancy and wanna splurge, go for it! Just be sure to have plenty of snacks on hand, 'cause this drink's gonna pack a punch .

I don’t usually comment but I had to try out The Marty cocktail recipe... it was literally insane how it all came together. Like, who would’ve thought fino sherry & maraschino liqueur were a match made in heaven? But trust me when I say the mezcal takes it to another level ! It’s like a winter wonderland in my glass. And that cherry garnish is just the cherry on top (pun intended) . Definitely trying this out at my next game night... or whenever I need an excuse to drink alone and watch Grease again

Ugh, another overpriced drink recipe that's gonna break the bank... I mean, who needs that much fancy sherry and liqueur? And what's with the mezcal - isn't that just for hipsters now? And don't even get me started on the cherry garnish, like it's supposed to make up for the crazy prices of all those ingredients. Just another overhyped winter warmer if you ask me... ️

omg I'm so over these "winter warmer" cocktails everyone's been raving about like, what's wrong with a good ol' hot chocolate or tea? But for real tho, have you ever tried anything like The Marty? It sounds wild and I love that it's got a unique combination of spirits - fino sherry, maraschino liqueur, and mezcal... my curiosity is piqued! think I'm gonna give it a shot this weekend maybe it'll be the perfect drink to cozy up with while watching a movie or something

OMG I'm not sure about this one, though! The combination of fino sherry, maraschino liqueur, and mezcal sounds kinda weird, like drinking a complicated math problem But at the same time, it's alluring - there's something about the idea of three spirits coming together that makes me wanna try it. I mean, who needs regular old whiskey or rum when you can have a boozy experiment? The cherry garnish is also a nice touch - I love how simple yet elegant it adds to the whole vibe.

Fino sherry, booze, and fire? Sounds like a recipe for disaster... or perfection

Ugh, I'm so over these fancy cocktail recipes flooding our feeds . Can't we just stick to a good ol' whiskey on the rocks around here? This one's got like 3 different types of liquor... who comes up with this stuff? And what's with the weird name, Marty or whatever? It sounds like something from a bad 80s musical . And don't even get me started on the garnish , I mean, a cherry soaked in sherry? That's just a fancy way of saying "overpriced". Can we please just have a simple recipe that doesn't require a PhD to make?
