Paloma

The Paloma, Mexico's national cocktail, has a somewhat obscure history, with its exact origins unknown. While some believe it was invented in the 1950s, possibly by legendary Mexican bartender Don Javier Delgado Corona, its precise creation story remains a mystery. The name "Paloma" means "dove" in Spanish, and the drink is known for its light, refreshing, and easy-to-make nature, typically consisting of tequila, grapefruit soda, and lime.

The Gold Rush

“I had finished a long shift at work in Midtown,” recalls Siegal, “and I sat down for a Bourbon Sour as I had many nights previous—on the rocks, without egg or garnish.” Petraske told him about a honey syrup he had put together in order to make an old drink called the Honeysuckle Cocktail (basically a Daiquiri made with honey). Siegal asked him to make his usual Bourbon Sour with that new honey syrup instead of the typical simple syrup. For the recipe, Petraske employed his usual sour formula of two ounces of spirit, one ounce of juice and three-quarters of an ounce of sweetener. The bourbon used that night was Knob Creek, but soon after, it was replaced by Elijah Craig 12-year-old, which was then plentiful and cheap, and became the house bourbon at Milk & Honey. 

🥃 Whisky Flights: Explore an array of exquisite whiskies, handpicked for their unique flavors and exceptional quality.

📖 Spirited Stories: As you enjoy your drinks, immerse yourself in captivating tales and anecdotes on spirits shared by Mike, making the evening even more memorable.
