Take A Bite Out Of South Florida

Ep. 17 - South Florida In A Glass: The Story Of Munyon’s Paw-Paw, Live From Penelope In Mizner Park

Shaina Wizov

Step into the rich history and bold flavors of South Florida with this episode of Take a Bite out of South Florida! We’re live from the stunning Penelope restaurant in Mizner Park, Boca Raton, to explore Munyon’s Paw-Paw, a handcrafted aperitif inspired by the legendary Dr. James Munyon. Co-founders Joe Colucci and Paul Massey share their incredible journey of turning a historical cure-all elixir into a modern-day masterpiece, made with 14 all-natural botanicals and a story that’s as vibrant as its taste.

From the roots of Munyon Island to a meticulous crafting process at Big Cypress Distillery in Miami, this episode uncovers how a bit of Florida’s past has been bottled for today’s cocktail lovers. Plus, we’ll get a taste of the gluten-free crab cakes and shrimp and grits from Penelope’s New Orleans-themed menu, as well as a creative twist on a Sidecar featuring none other than Munyon’s Paw Paw, crafted by highly esteemed local mixologist Myles Robinson.

This episode is filled with history, flavor, and fun. Cheers!
