Locally Made
Swanky Old Fashioned
Swanky is a beloved Caymanian beverage with deep local roots, traditionally crafted from a refreshing blend of bitter orange, limes brown sugar, and water - sometimes enhanced with island spices or fresh herbs. Once a staple thirst-quencher for local workers in the sun, Swanky has evolved into a symbol of Caymanian heritage: simple, bold, and unmistakably Caribbean.
Our Rum Old Fashioned pays tribute to tradition while elevating it with Cayman character. By infusing this classic cocktail with Swanky, we’ve created a bold, modern drink that honors the island’s past and present. The bright citrus of Swanky complements the depth of aged rum, while its subtle sweetness and spiced notes bring a local vibrancy to the familiar warmth of the Old Fashioned. It’s our way of bottling not just a drink - but the story and spirit of Cayman itself.
Nectar Negroni
Cayman honey is a rare delicacy produced by bees that forage among native plants like logwood, seagrape, and mangrove blossoms. Beekeeping in the Cayman Islands dates back generations, with local apiaries playing a quiet but vital role in preserving the island’s biodiversity. The result is a rich, amber-toned honey with subtle floral notes and a flavor shaped by the island’s unique landscape - a natural treasure that captures both history and habitat in every drop.
The Negroni is a bold, bittersweet classic known for its balance and sophistication. We’ve reimagined it with a Cayman twist by blending in honey, softening the bitterness with a smooth, floral warmth that complements the herbaceous notes of gin and vermouth. The result is a Negroni that’s both familiar and surprising - elevated with the essence of place. The honey adds depth without overpowering, offering a luxurious, island-inspired take on a timeless aperitif.
Mango Manhattan
Mango season in the Cayman Islands is a celebrated time, with dozens of vibrant varieties ripening across the islands—from sweet Julie mangoes to bold East Indian strains. For generations, mango trees have flourished in backyards and along quiet roadsides, passed down through families as both food and heritage. Cayman mangoes are prized for their intense flavor, tropical aroma, and juicy, sun-soaked flesh - a seasonal symbol of island life at its sweetest.
The Manhattan is a cocktail of rich tradition and smooth sophistication. To give it a Cayman twist, we infused it with mango, adding a lush, tropical brightness that softens the whisky’s spice and enhances the warmth of sweet vermouth. The mango infusion brings depth, nuance, and just the right touch of island indulgence, transforming the classic into something unmistakably Caribbean and effortlessly refined.
Escovitch Martini
Escovitch is a bold and tangy Caribbean preparation traditionally used to marinate freshly caught fish. In Cayman kitchens, it’s made with vinegar, Scotch bonnet peppers, pimento, and julienned vegetables like carrots and onions - creating a bright, bracing blend of heat, acid, and spice. Brought to the islands through Jamaican culinary heritage, escovitch has become a flavorful staple that reflects the region’s love of vivid, layered flavor with a punch of personality.
We set out to reimagine the Vodka Martini - not by softening it, but by sharpening its edge with a distinctly Caribbean spirit. Infused with escovitch-inspired aromatics, this martini delivers a surprising twist: savory, spiced complexity with a subtle heat that lingers. The clean profile of vodka lets the bold flavors shine through, resulting in a cocktail that’s both refined and rebellious - a salute to island flavor and fearless innovation.
