Last weekend I had some family in town and after the obligatory visit to the Cathedral and other tourist attractions, we ended up in Portixol. I wanted to show them one of my favourite neighbourhoods in Palma. They wanted to eat pizza, so I took them to Cocco, one of my “go to” places for a good pizza in Palma (even though they are not a pizzeria, but a proper restaurant). Having satiated our hunger, we thought it would be fun to end our time together with a few cocktails, a little bit too early in the day for my liking!
The barman asked us what kinds of flavours we liked… For me this depends on my mood as well as on the time of the year. So, I said citrusy and fruity, and lovely Nikola suggested Bramble. Made with blackberries, raspberries, Beefeater gin, lemon juice and sugar, the cocktail came in a classic rocks glass, served over crushed ice and garnished with fresh mint and fresh raspberries and blackberries on a cocktail stick. It was citrusy and fruity – just as promised – and absolutely delicious. As we were finishing our drinks, we got treated to “chupitos” (shots) that contained strawberry pure, vodka (I think!?) and some other undetectable loveliness, beautifully presented on a dark stone slab.
I love this place for its position in a cool neighbourhood, with uninterrupted sea views (especially from the top floor), but also for its quirky, rough yet stylish interior. Even though Cocco has been one of my go to places for pizza, I have never tried their cocktails till that day, but I will definitely be back to try another one.
Till next time – cheers!
