Cultural Context

Sky Juice is a traditional cocktail from the Bahamas, where it is a beloved island staple often sold by street vendors. Sweetened condensed milk appears in a number of Caribbean cocktails, lending them a creamy richness. While many assume the drink is made with rum, the classic Bahamian version is built on gin, with coconut water and condensed milk for a light, refreshing finish. A dusting of grated nutmeg on top is the signature garnish.
