Thirst Quenchers

“Leaded or unleaded?” asked the bartender at a grill shack in Nassau, Bahamas. Leaded or unleaded, indeed! In local parlance, leaded refers to a gin-spiked coconut punch called sky juice, while unleaded describes the same drink made without gin. How better to begin a barbecue?

You sure can work up an enormous thirst when grilling. First, because you’re outdoors, standing next to a powerful heat source. Second, because the food that comes off the grill demands a full-flavored libation that matches the smoky taste of the fire.
