Rebujito
A refreshing and simple sherry-based highball, the Rebujito is a popular Andalusian cocktail that is especially favored during the Feria de Abril in Seville, Spain. It combines the crispness of dry sherry with the sweetness and zest of lemon-lime soda, served over ice with a garnish of fresh mint for an effervescent and thirst-quenching beverage.
