Washington, DC, bartender Derek Brown calls The Doubting Duck his ideal aperitif because while it's low-proof, it's also amazingly complex. He loves the manzanilla sherry's savory edge, which makes the drink incredibly food-friendly.Slideshow: More Easy Cocktail RecipesThis recipe originally appeared in the Food & Wine 2016 Cocktails book.

I'll admit I was doubting with the duck. I didn't have a manzanilla sherry so I substituted a medium dry sack. The celery bitters come through nicely here. Assuming it's better with the correct sherry I'll have to find some. I'll definitely be having this again.
