Carrer de la Mercé is a small street, running parallel to the Passeig de Colum, and home to a varied collection of cocktail bars. The newer ones sell your everyday cocktail fare (mojitos, caipirinhas), but it’s their dingier neighbours who peddle this street’s most interesting beverage. Known as “leche de pantera”, no-one is quite sure what goes into it, but it’s probably a combination of milk, gin, rum, and Cointreau. One thing you should know – it’s lethally strong. Would you milk an actual panther? Keep that thought in mind, and sip cautiously. Or just throw caution to the wind and shot the stuff. Did I say that?
