Shaken, stirred, infused or spritzed, nothing beats a great cocktail, and in South Walton we have some of the finest mixologists that are passionate about honing their craft. One of them is Corey Jernigan who is artistic with his creations, and during the Food Film Festival South Walton came up with a refreshing libation for The Local Palate called “Summer On 30A.” The drink features the finest Oryza Vodka and Oryza Gin from Donner-Peltier Distillers. The fresh flavors are cooling and invigorating, perfect for the warm days and balmy nights spent in the summer on 30A..
