History

Created in April 2017 by Paloma, my better half, at the Cabinet Room in London, England. Named after she instructed yours truly to stop trying to make the drink she'd just created better.

Review

Richly flavoured and yet dry – rum and subtle desiccated coconut with monastic herbal sweetness dried by aromatic fino sherry and vanilla bitters.

The name of the cocktail was a red rag to our fiddling bull (incidentally, maybe an apt name for a Berkshire pub). But we satisfied our taurine inclinations merely by substituting two drops of Bob's Chocolate Bitters for the Vanilla. Coconut rum liqueur and sherry. Who would have thought? Perhaps only a smart Spanish party girl. Bravo Paloma.

For someone who's not into regular cocktail R&D, Paloma did a fantastic job! What a great nutty combination with the coconut and sherry! The Benedictine adds equal parts honey and complexity and the rum adds a wonderful spirituosness, particularly with the c0conut too. Inspired.

Are there any more Paloma drinks? She's so much better at making up cocktails than that Simon guy.

I've checked and sadly this is the only Paloma original on Difford's Guide. In the meantime, we're all stuck with the stuff by that Simon guy.

You're too kind, although just perhaps I'm more at home on the other side of the bar!

I don't really like the taste of sherry, but this drink somehow makes the sherry very palatable - I think it's the coconut that does it - so don't be put off if you too don't like sherry!
