History

Created by yours truly in June 2026 at The Clocktower, Rye, England. A riff on the brilliant Palermo, a cocktail I encountered in 2001, and which led me to use white wine in place of citrus in many of the recipes I've developed since.

Review

Vodka-laced pineapple and vanilla with flavoursome balancing acidity provided by Sauvignon Blanc wine. This cocktail works without the muddled pineapple wedges, but their inclusion adds an attractive creaminess.

Straight out of the shaker, this was a bit 'all over the shop' for us. But allowed a few minutes to warm and integrate it blossomed beautifully with lovely balance and a delicate, complex harmony. Bravo to our good host.
