History:
Mamadeta is popularly enjoyed during the Santa Tecla Festival held every September in Tarragona, Spain. The link between Chartreuse and Tarragona stems from the liqueur being made at the Carthusian monastery in the city until 1989 when production moved back to their Monastery in Voiron France.
Legend has it that this cocktail, or at least its name, originated at an ice cream parlour on Plaça del Re in Tarragona. During festivals, Mamadetas are served in plastic cocktail shaker-shaped flasks, known as "barrels", which revellers hang around their necks. These were introduced in 1998, and the designs printed on them change each year.
Review:
Sweet 'n' sour with complex herbal notes and lime freshness.
