The Pomegranate Specialist From Bardstown
PAMA was introduced in 2006 as the first widely available pomegranate spirit of its kind, and its recipe starts with California pomegranates picked at peak ripeness. The juice's natural tannins give the liqueur a fresh-juice mouthfeel rather than a syrupy one, and the vodka structure keeps the fruit clean, with only a whisper of tequila character behind it. Find it on our liqueurs shelf, browse the wider spirits range, or see it on the PAMA vendor page.
Tasting Notes
Colour: Deep, vibrant ruby red from the pomegranate juice. Nose: Fresh, ripe pomegranate. Palate: A delicate balance of sweet and tart, lightly cranberry-edged, with the juice's natural tannins keeping it fresh rather than syrupy. Finish: Clean, fruity and lightly tart.
How to Enjoy
Build the brand's serves: a PAMA Spritz with Champagne or Prosecco and a splash of club soda over ice, a PAMA Cosmo, Mojito, Margarita or Paloma — or pour it straight up or over ice with a twist.
