  • Year Round Gin use Plymouth Gin
  • Made with Farmer's gin (which has a bit of mint already to it), Dolin red, and Noily Prat dry. A little stuck in no man's land between a dry, martini-like drink and a sweet minty drink. — ★★★
  • Made .75oz of each Vermouth to 1.5oz Gin.

This is a more involved and lightly spiced version of that great summer cooler classic. The St Germain and seasonal fruit add some really great freshness to the drink.

I curated this - check the cited link. Camper English has done some work (and called in David Wondrich and David Suro for backup) on the history of the Paloma. Basically, the argument is that while Squirt was introduced into Mexico in the 50's and was probably immediately used to make a highball with Tequila, a Paloma written recipe is much more recent - maybe the mid 90's/early 2000s. Thanks,  Zachary

  • Used a plantation double barrel aged rum. Way too sweet for my personal taste, perhaps due to my rum limitations. Might be willing to try again in the future w. El dorado 12.
  • Used creme de violette. Luxardo also worked as a sub.
  • Think I’d like this a tad more with more Salers. Used Violette, not having any Yvette around.
  • I aspire to be able to put together flavors this well.
  • Well-balanced and complex, though bear in mind that it won't work without a well-aged rum.

Good, I use Nocino. Trying to sub Nocello for Amaretto. Next time will increase the Nocello 50%. Also with my homemade bitters 3-4 droppers is enough.

  • Shockingly easy drinking
  • Made with Amer Sauvage (and 1 1/2 oz bourbon). As usual the first sip was too intense, but thereafter really enjoyable. Candy of Aperol balanced earthy bitter of the gentian.
  • I tried this with both 1.5 and 1.25 but the 1.25 had a much better balanced composition.

Great drink! Going into the rotation tonight!

I remember Colin telling me that Imbibe screwed up the recipe slightly and it should actually be 1.25 oz bourbon. Either way it makes a fine drink.

Appreciate the simple riff and the pass on citrus. Well-crafted with 1.5 oz bourbon.

  • Add one dash of cherry bitters and you have Closing Argument
  • Add 3/4oz pinapple juice for an Ultima Palabra
  • Go for a smoky mezcal. Preferably higher proof to stand up to the chartreuse and the luxardo.
  • Interesting. More Last Word than mezcally.
  • Same as Last of the Oaxacans — ★★★★★
  • Would like to try again with a less smoky mezcal
