iSi Sherry

Team Lyan | London, UK

According to Cub and Dandelyan bartender Ryan Chetiyawardana, it’s always best to begin making at-home infusions with low-ABV bases. While traditional infusion methods (i.e. adding your ingredients to liquid and letting it sit in a cool, dry place) will take longer, using an iSi to “charge” the infusion is as fast as it gets. This infusion of fino sherry turns the wine into a ready-to-drink cocktail—just add ice.
