Come and try them at Ponzano 32
Papaya is a place where the sober, traditional look of an old Madrid liquor store meets the tropical aromas of the Caribbean.
Here you can enjoy unique spirits, infused with different botanicals, which let us offer mixed drinks that turn having a drink into something out of the ordinary.
All of it in a room that blends Amazonian motifs with the copper tones of craft distilleries and their stills.
Our question for you is this: what are you doing reading about a bar online instead of coming to see it for yourself? What are you waiting for? Stop staring at that screen!
Papaya is built on the drinks we put in front of your senses. You will not find any of these spirits in another bar in Madrid, or anywhere else in Spain.
Everything we serve is distilled in small copper stills, in batches of fewer than 300 bottles. Which means not even we have the same spirit we had a few months ago. Remarkable, isn't it?
Rather than pouring the usual industrial products loaded with sweeteners and flavour enhancers, we want to bring a new idea of the drink to the table: simple combinations of spirit and mixer that bear no resemblance to what you are used to.
As you would expect, the result is a craft spirit: smooth and rounded, unfiltered and uncoloured, with clean aromas that come from first-rate ingredients and are never drowned in sugar. That is rarer than it should be.
Try our gin on its own, at room temperature, and you will taste the difference.
Have you ever looked into what goes into the spirits you normally drink?
Gin, rum, whisky or vodka.
Dry gin, citrus gin, cinnamon gin, premium craft whisky, Caribbean rum, cinnamon rum and more.
Whichever one you like best. That is it.
…et voilà!
Here is our menu. You will find the mixed drinks made with our different spirits (we add a new one every now and then 😉), plus fermented drinks and our short list of things to nibble on.

A wedding, a company lunch, a private party? Our infused spirits travel beyond Ponzano too. There are two ways to do it:
We sell you the bottles of our spirits and infusions so you can pour them yourselves. Tell us how many guests you are expecting and we will tell you what quantity makes sense.
We bring the bar to you and serve the drinks throughout the event, with the same infusions you would find at Papaya.
Or message us on Instagram and we will sort it out.
