The editorial take
A combined brewery and distillery where the cocktail list is the real draw: ten named drinks, most built on Islamorada's own vodka, gin, hibiscus gin, and barrel-aged rum. The Perfect Key Lime Pie Martini and Mermaid Magic show the range, and Catch and Release gets topped with Nested Reel Sour Ale. Beer gets equal attention, with a detailed list spanning lager, wheat, sour, stout, and session IPA, plus a 2018 Best Florida Beer Pro second-place medal for Falconers Flight pale ale.
- What should I order?
- Start with The Perfect Key Lime Pie Martini, made with Islamorada Vodka or Gin, vanilla syrup, key lime and pineapple juices, heavy whipping cream, and cream of coconut; a mocktail substitution with organic pineapple juice is available. For beer, order the Islamorada Ale or Paradise Lager.
- When should I go?
- The tasting room pours freshly tapped beers, making it a natural stop for a daytime brewery-and-distillery visit.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- It is the Florida Keys' only combined brewery and distillery, with a 25,000-square-foot production facility and tasting room. Cocktails are built on house-distilled vodka, gin, and hibiscus gin, and the beer program includes Falconers Flight pale ale, which took second place at Best Florida Beer Pro 2018.
