Tips
- Juice the celery just before you shake; it separates and goes dull fast, and the drink loses its savory edge.
- The fino (10 ml) and elderflower liqueur (5 ml) are strong for their size; pour heavy and they bury the rum.
History
The Palomino Flor was created by Jody Monteith, a Manchester bartender and co-founder of the bar consultancy The Liquorists. It is built around white rum, bianco vermouth, fino sherry, and elderflower liqueur, with a touch of celery. Its name references Palomino, the grape variety from which fino sherry is made, and flor, the layer of yeast that forms on fino sherry during aging and shapes its flavor.
