The cocktail consists of 2 glasses. The first one with Cardenal Mendoza and the second with Cardenal Mendoza Royal Letter. In the first one they mix the Cardenal Mendoza with more ingredients in order to obtain a harmonious, sweet cocktail, with notes of cocoa, dried fruits and a Sherry aftertaste, without being cloying.
In the second glass we have the Carta Real. The star of the show, which, according to Albert, bartender at this wonderful hotel, “is so good that we haven’t been able to mix it, so we serve it neat. We recommend drinking a little of the first glass and then the second, alternating between them to fully enjoy this cocktail.”
