Very few people know panther milk, although some surely remember it from their youthful years at parties in Madrid. Meanwhile, others drank it and continue to drink it in the Spanish army. In fact, it was the latter who created it. It is said that this cocktail arose from the mixture of condensed milk that they had as part of their rationing together with ethyl alcohol from the infirmary. A real bomb.
Even so, the updated version was created by the barista Perico Chicote, who baptized it as ‘panther’ in homage to the actress Celia Gámez, whose eyes were slanted and penetrating like those of a feline. Still today it is prepared in some bars in Madrid where many come to remember the flavors of the past. A refreshing drink ideal to offer something different and exotic, especially if accompanied by its history.
