Chesapeake Bay Vodka

Just in time for summer or a weekend Bloody Mary, a Philadelphia-based distillery has released a vodka with “traditional Chesapeake Bay seasoning.”  “The Bay” is a combination of “classic seafood seasonings familiar to lovers of the U.S. Eastern Seaboard for nearly 80 years,” according to its creators.
  As the newest liquor from Philadelphia Distilling, the brand appears to pay homage to a cousin of Old Bay, which is a staple of most Maryland crab steams and the occasional french fry basket.  The seasoning contains flavors of celery seed, black and red pepper, nutmeg, cardamom and a base of sea salt.  President and Co-founder of of the distillery Andrew Auwerda said the vodka, which will retail for $26 a liter, is meant for Chesapeake natives and visitors to the region.
  “If you spend time on the Chesapeake Bay, these flavors become part of your life,” Auwerda said in a statement that coincided the vodka’s release on March 25 — Maryland Day.
