Panther Milk is an incredibly delicious drink inspired by 'Leche De Pantera' a potent beverage that has its origins in vibrant 1920's Spain. Panther Milk launched in Glasgow in 2014 as a secret pop-up bar. Whilst originally meant to last for just three months the demand and popularity were so high that the bar was made permanent for four and a half years, only opening its doors on Friday and Saturday nights.

There are several theories on the birth of 'Leche de Pantera' which translates directly from Spanish to Panther Milk". According to the most accredited, it originated when General José Millán-Astray of the Spanish foreign legion commissioned one of the most well-known bartenders at the time, namely Perico Chicote of the Hotel Ritz in Madrid, to create a drink for his soldiers that was simple, cheap and easy to prepare and store and to carry around during the various missions. It is said that the military were so satisfied with the result that they all went to congratulate the bartender personally.

A different legend states that the recipe was created by the military that were injured and confined to the infirmary, who had the genius idea of ​​mixing alcohol for medical use with condensed milk, later replacing this alcohol with gin, brandy, rum or other spirits they had available.
