To prepare the Marine Paloma, one simply fills a glass with ice, creating a chilled base that enhances the drink's refreshing qualities.

Following this, 150 ml of Thomas Henry Pink Grapefruit soda is added, introducing a bubbly effervescence that dances on the palate. The combination of the herbal and slightly salty notes from the aperitif with the bright, citrusy flavor of grapefruit creates a harmonious balance that is both refreshing and satisfying.

Once the ingredients are combined, a gentle stir is all that is needed to meld the flavors together. For an added touch of elegance, a slice of grapefruit can be used as a garnish, enhancing the visual appeal of the drink while also providing an aromatic hint of citrus.

Many agree that the first cocktail ever invented was the Sazerac in the mid-1800s in New Orleans. The Sazerac, a blend of whiskey, absinthe, bitters, and sugar, made it a unique and recognizable cocktail.

How did the name 'cocktails' come to be?

The etymology is believed to have come from a New Orleans apothecary, and inventor, Antoine Amédée Peychaud, who served brandy with his bitters in eggcups in the late 18th century.

The french word for eggcup is coquetier.

The story goes, that it was difficult to pronounce coquetier, was likely mis-pronounced, and quickly the word cocktail caught on as a new word.
