Choose the option that fits you the best
Insider Tip: While you're at Da Fry, ask a local to point you in the direction of the SKY JUICE KING
Sky juice is a popular Bahamian beverage that combines coconut water, sweet milk (often condensed milk), and gin. This refreshing drink is a favorite among locals and tourists alike. The mixture of the creamy sweetness of the milk with the clear, slightly nutty flavor of the coconut water and the kick of gin creates a unique and delightful concoction.
Easy on it though. This one will sneak up on ya!
