Sometimes brands matter. The Lustau East India Sherry (a cream sherry) has a deep, sweet, complex flavor which adds a bit of raisin to the drink and should not be substituted. Aperol, of course, is specific to its Italian bitters liqueur category and should also not be substituted. I’ll let you choose whatever rye you like.
