The Bay Vodka is a new summery flavor from Philadelphia Distilling Co.

Celebrate Memorial Day weekend with a taste of The Bay, a savory new vodka varietal from Philadelphia Distilling Co. Seasoned with celery seed, black and red pepper, nutmeg and cardamom, The Bay tastes like a salty sailboat ride on the Chesapeake, the wind whipping through your hair while you pet a lovable dolphin. 

Here are four recipes from Philadelphia Distilling Co. to try out for yourself.
