Nice One

Dan Greenbaum, Diamond Reef | Brooklyn

The work of bartender Dan Greenbaum—who is known for his affinity with sherry—the Nice One is basically an equal parts Adonis (amontillado sherry and sweet vermouth), with a half ounce banana liqueur thrown in, garnished with an orange twist. It’s light and nutty, with the banana keeping respectfully to the rear.
