PANTHER M*LK ORIGINS
Our incredibly delicious beverage is inspired by 'Leche De Pantera’, a potent cocktail that has its origins in the hedonism and indulgence of 1920's Spain. There are several theories on the birth of 'Leche de Pantera' which translates directly from Spanish to Panther M*lk. According to the most accredited, it originated when General José Millán-Astray of the Spanish Foreign Legion commissioned one of the most well-known bartenders at the time, namely Perico Chicote of the Hotel Ritz in Madrid, to create a drink for his soldiers ( known as the Panthers) that was simple, cheap and easy to prepare and store and to carry around during the various missions. It is said that the military were so satisfied with the result that they all went to congratulate the bartender personally. A different legend states that the recipe was created by the military who were injured and confined to the infirmary, who had the genius idea of mixing alcohol for medical use with condensed milk, later replacing this alcohol with gin, brandy, rum or other spirits they had available.
