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.

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.

Alcohol content:

  • 1.3 standard drinks
  • 17.22% alc./vol. (34.44° proof)
  • 18.5 grams of pure alcohol
