In Colonial Times, schooners were fast, nimble ships employed in privateering,
blockade running and most commonly, fishing. With its colonial villa setting mere
steps from the sea, Schooners offers the best of the fisherman's catch prepared in
Turks Island and Bahamian styles every day.
Breakfast Libations
The Bloody Mary
The Bloody Mary's origin is unclear. Fernand Petiot claimed to have invented the drink in 1921 while working at the New York
Bar, which later became Harry's Bar, a frequent Paris hangout for Ernest Hemingway and other American expatriates. Another
tradition maintains that actor George Jessel created the drink around 1939. In 1939, Lucius Beebe printed in his gossip column
"This New York" one of the earliest U.S. references to this drink, along with the original recipe: "George Jessel’s newest pick-meup which is receiving attention from the town’s paragraphers is called a Bloody Mary: half tomato juice, half vodka."
The Mimosa
A Mimosa is a cocktail-like drink composed of one part champagne (or other sparkling wine) and one part thoroughly chilled
orange juice. It is traditionally served in a tall champagne flute with a morning brunch as hair of the dog or to guests at weddings. A Buck's Fizz is a similar cocktail, albeit with a 2:1 ratio of orange juice to champagne. The first printed
reference to a fizz (spelled "fiz") is in the 1887 edition of Jerry Thomas' Bartender's Guide, which contains six fizz recipes. The
Fizz became widely popular in America between 1900 and the 1940s. Known as a hometown specialty of New Orleans, the Gin
Fizz was so popular that bars would employ scrums of bartenders working in teams that would take turns shaking the fizzes.
Another popular breakfast drink, champagne with cranberry juice is a Poinsettia.
The Screwdriver
A Screwdriver is a popular highball drink made with fresh orange juice and vodka. It is sometimes referred to as "Vodka and
Orange". While the basic drink is simply the two ingredients, there are many variations, many of these with multiple names,
that can be found all over the world. The earliest written reference to the Screwdriver is from the October 24, 1949 issue of
Time:"In the dimly lighted bar of the sleek Park Hotel, Turkish intelligence agents mingle with American engineers and Balkan
refugees, drinking the latest Yankee concoction of vodka and orange juice, called a 'screwdriver'." The drink reportedly got its
name because American petroleum engineers in Saudi Arabia secretly added vodka to small cans of orange juice and stirred
the mixture with their screwdrivers.
