From the Bartender

Created by Katie Stipe at Flatiron Lounge in New York in 2006. It has quietly become a modern standard, and it is the drink to make for someone who says they only like Palomas.

Cocktails like this one

Dark Rum

The Mariner

Rich molasses depth from dark rum meets the tart brightness of lime and the sun-warmed bitterness of grapefruit, balanced by a whisper of sweetness. Complex, refreshing, and unmistakably nautical.

London Dry Gin

Cloister

Honey and saffron-like herbs from the Chartreuse riding over pithy grapefruit, with the gin's juniper providing structure and a long, warming herbal finish.

Blanco tequila

Margarita (frozen)

Bracingly cold and smooth, with vivid lime tartness up front, a sweet citrus mid-palate from the triple sec, and a clean, earthy agave backbone that lingers through the finish.

Blanco Tequila

Mexico Pacifico

Juicy tropical passion fruit meets zesty lime over the peppery, earthy backbone of blanco tequila, with just a whisper of sugar to round it off. Bright, refreshing and sunny from first sip to last.
