Dry sherry is a style of sherry that has no appreciable residual sugar. Dry sherry can be made either by the reductive process in the case of [ingredient=fino-sherry Fino], [ingredient=manzanilla-sherry Manzanilla] or [ingredient=amontillado-sherry Amontillado], the hybrid process as with [ingredient=palo-cortado-sherry Palo Cortado], or the oxidative method, like [ingredient=oloroso-sherry Oloroso sherry]. 

Dry sherries are typically not broadly substitutable for each other. A cocktail made with Oloroso sherry will have a very different color and flavor profile than the same cocktail made with Fino sherry.
