What it is
Nassau's rums and the sky juice: Bahamian rum (John Watling's, at the 1789 Buena Vista estate, is the modern craft name; Ole Nassau the party bottle) and gully wash ('sky juice') — gin (or rum) with coconut water and sweet milk, served in a jelly jar at the fish fry. Origins: rum reached the Bahamas with wreckers and Prohibition smugglers (Nassau was a bootleg capital); gully wash is the Arawak Cay invention. Made from: rum (molasses, column-distilled, oak-rested); gully wash: gin, coconut water, condensed milk, nutmeg. How it's made: 1) Blend the wash fresh. 2) Serve over ice in jars at the fry. 3) Rum neat for the Watling's aged. Served: at Arawak Cay with conch salad. Flavor: coconut-creamy wash; rums light and oaky. Strength: 40% (rum); the wash hides its strength. Culture: 'sky juice' under the Poinciana trees is Nassau's evening mass. See also: the Bahamas cuisines collection (conch salad is its partner).
