Aperitivo Palo, Licor de Palo de Mallorca (D.G.P.) - Traditional liqueur, very suitable as an aperitif
30% vol
Palo is an exquisite liqueur that originated in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries when there were many marshlands in Mallorca and mosquitoes transmitted swamp fever. To combat it, two plants, cinchona bark and gentian, were used, preserved in alcohol to prevent fermentation. The drink is obtained by maceration and/or infusion of cinchona bark (Cinchona sp) and gentian root (Gentiana lutea) with sugar, sucrose syrup, and ethyl alcohol. Palo is protected with the geographical indication Palo de Mallorca.
An excellent aperitif and good appetizer. In Mallorca, Palo is consumed as an aperitif mixed with carbonated drinks. The most common combination is Palo with soda. A glass of this drink, served cold, with some lemon drops and gin, is an excellent aperitif and a good appetizer.
