Secret Sherry SocietyIn celebrations of Tales of the Cocktail in New Orleans that BourbonBlog.com will be covering this week, the leaders of the Secret Sherry Society have selected these drinks through a specific tasting and pairing process. The society, formed by a group of individuals whose primary concern was the artful dissemination of the secrets of their favorite beverage, Sherry, is a lively bunch of Sherry experts that travel around the country sharing their passion for their favorite beverage.

The society tells BourbonBlog.com that there is no better time than the summer to travel and create dishes from the world in your own kitchen. They say that Sherry cocktails make the perfect pairing to the best cultural cuisines from Thai to Mexican and even the spicy flavors of the Caribbean islands.
