As you might well imagine, Munyon’s Paw-Paw has ties to Palm Beach County’s Munyon Island.

What might not be as obvious is that Munyon’s Paw Paw is an aperitif with a recipe loosely based on a dubious cure-all tonic peddled by 19th-century entrepreneur James Munyon at his Hotel Hygeia on the island that sits off the coast of North Palm Beach and is now a part of John D. MacArthur Beach State Park.

Recently launched by Palm Beach Gardens-based Munyon Island Spirits Co., the aperitif — a small alcohol drink you have pre-dining to stimulate the appetite — is said to include natural ingredients, no artificial colors and 20 percent alcohol by volume.
