Seriously spicy Paloma cocktail

Speyside, Spey

Sweet and fruity banana aromas mixed with a fairly spicy scent made this an unusual experience which we described as vanilla glazed banana gingerbread followed by turmeric banana smoothie with ginger and cinnamon. Let’s try it. Wow! Seriously spicy! A spicy Paloma cocktail served in a sea salted rimmed glass using fresh lime and grapefruit juice, serrano pepper and tequila. With water a lot more fruity; oranges, mangos and still plenty of bananas mixed now with a little ginger and vanilla beans. And on the palate now a lot smoother, sweet and creamy like a refreshing mango and vanilla fool.

Drinking tip: Janus-faced, neat and diluted so very different
