Sunday Carolina Crab Boil with Mayberry Whiskey!

We missed celebrating the 4th with the family but we won’t miss out on celebrating the 10th which is our Bahamian Independence Day!  

What better way to celebrate than to throw a little bit of Carolina in with the Islands and prepare a crab boil but really tweak it and spice it up.

Time with family trying new and old recipes that have been passed on from generation to generation are to us, one of lifes sweetest treasures.

From Monk to Moonshiner! May I introduce Vann McCoy, my new favourite thing in Mt. Airy!

Each recipe today has been blessed with some Mayberry Spirits. Our preference today is the Premium Whiskey, aged two weeks in toasted oak barrels with toasted oak chips.
