The only certified female sommelier in all of The Bahamas, Rebecca Tibbitts, Co-Founder of Flying Fish has dedicated her career to the restaurant industry. With her passion for wines, she took up study at the International Sommelier Guild to learn the history and science of winemaking and earned her certification in 2007.
Flying Fish is pleased to present their summer cocktail selections created by Rebecca offering a drink menu that includes unique infusions designed to satisfy any palate, and perfect for sipping to cool you down over the hot summer months.
"Through Caribbean inspirations, Rebecca strives to put a twist on traditional and create new and interesting concoctions and pairings that stand out to those who taste them. Together with her husband and the lead Chef Tim Tibbitts, Rebecca has turned Flying Fish into Grand Bahama Island’s only AAA Four-Diamond restaurant – and just the third to earn that rating in all of Bahamian history..." writes Affluence Avenue, who recently featured the restaurant.
