Cocktail Daily | Where Japanese Bartending Meets Madrid
Devil’s Adonis | Devil’s Cut, Madrid
Fino Sherry / Amontillado Sherry / Sweet Vermouth / Passion Fruit
In Madrid’s Barrio de las Letras, Devil’s Cut brings Japanese bartending precision into the setting of a traditional Spanish café-bar.
Founded in 2024 by Shingo Gokan and his partners, the bar preserves the character of the former Casa Pueblo while introducing a distinctly Japanese-influenced approach to cocktail-making.
Its menu brings together creations from Gokan’s career, spanning New York, Tokyo, Shanghai, Okinawa, and Hong Kong, alongside original cocktails developed for Madrid.
Devil’s Adonis offers a contemporary interpretation of the classic sherry-based Adonis. Combining the dry, delicate character of Fino with the nutty complexity of Amontillado, sweet vermouth, and passion fruit, the recipe explores the relationship between traditional fortified wines and modern fruit-driven cocktail design.
Tasting Notes

Palate: A sherry-led structure balancing dry, oxidative, herbal, and fruity elements.
Finish: A flavour design built around dry sherry, nutty depth, and a contrast of herbs and tropical fruit.
Overall: A thoughtful reinterpretation of a classic that keeps Spanish sherry at its centre.
