The Dish: Liqueur inspired by 19th-century tonic makes Palm Beach debut

A new liqueur available in Palm Beach pays homage to an erstwhile Palm Beach landowner-businessman and his dubious elixir peddled with a message of hope followers embraced in droves.

The liqueur available today, called Munyon’s Paw-Paw, is an aperitif for sale in Palm Beach ($34.99 for a 750 ml bottle) at Hampton’s Liquors on Royal Poinciana Way.

It’s also available in town behind the bar at Al Fresco restaurant at Par 3 Golf Course, where “we use it in a couple of cocktails and people really like it,” said general manager Epigmenio Ortega.

“When I first tried the liqueur on its own — without anything mixed with it — I thought, `Wow, that’s delicious,’” Ortega told the Daily News on Sunday, noting the liqueur is the chief ingredient in Al Fresco’s Palm Beach Negroni and Palm Beach Spritz cocktails.
