Ingredients

1 ½ ounce fino sherry
½ ounce gin
½ ounce lime juice fresh
½ ounce lemon juice fresh
½ ounce simple syrup
1 ounce sparkling water
2 mint leaves more for garnish
lemon and lime wheels for garnish

Instructions

Combine the sherry, gin, lemon juice, lime juice, simple syrup and ice in a cocktail shaker.
Shake for 15-20 seconds and then strain into a cocktail glass filled with ice.
Top with the sparkling water and garnish with the extra mint and lemon and lime wheels.

Notes

Use fresh lemon and lime juice - not bottled.

Fino sherry is a lighter and dryer sherry - do not use cooking sherry.

To make simple syrup combine equal parts water and sugar in a sauce pan and heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Cool and then store in the fridge, it should last about a month.
