Guavaberry Rum

[miss_rach]

I ran into someone that said a few years back they were in St Maarten and drank some rum called Guavaberry and that it was very good. He said if I can find it buy some to bring home. He said its different than normal rum.

Is it readily available on the Island? If so where can I get it and where can it be purchased to bring back onto the ship?

 

Cheers!

Hello Miss Rach,

Afaik Guavaberry has a little shop at 8 Voorstraat in Philipsburg, so within easy reach from the dock. Please feel free to look it up http://www.guavaberry.com

 

Cheers Callimero

Yes, the Guavaberry Emporium is located on Frontstreet,

 

(click)

 

But all the Guavaberry Products, Rum, Flavored Rums, Hot Sauces, etc. are available everywhere, including at the Cruise Facility, itself.

It makes the most delicious Pina Colada (recipe included with purchase) :p

As you come down the pier, there is a concession stand for Guavaberry directly across from the information center on the left hand side. Bright and yellow, you can't miss it. I always get a slushee there and sit under the coconut trees and enjoy it and people watch. Free samples if you want to try it.

Guavaberry Rum is one of the best reasons to visit Sint Maarten. There are many flavors of the rum, our favorite is the mashup, it has fruit infused in it. The Guavaberry Colada is made with the Guavaberry liqueur, that has an oddly sweet taste, I suggest you try a sample of that before you buy a bottle, some people don't like the flavor of that, but if you do buy a bottle and don't like it, I will gladly take it off your hands. :P

I also was interested in maybe bringing back a bottle of guavaberry. Do you just pack it in your luggage for return? Sorry, but I've never purchased liquor out of the US.

 

Thanks

Since I only got the guavaberry liquor, I just carried it back onboard and didn't have to check it. Only rum and hard liquor have to be held till disembarkation.

Thanks Cruzoholic.....Not much of a drinker but always interested in trying new things. Liquor huh....I just might get that instead of the rum then I can possibly find some thing to cook with it. :)

Doesn't it have liquor in it? What proof is it?

35% alcohol, therefore, 70 proof.

Whoever got it by security just got lucky, they will hold till the last day, if they see it.

 

For anyone who has not tried it, do not confuse with guava flavor. Guava berries grow in St Martin, and the signature liquor has a strong, woody, bitter flavor. Delicious, but definitely an aquired taste.

Sounds really good!! I don't drink Pina Colada's on land so hoping I can get a bottle on without having it taken from me so I can add it to a drink or two on the ship.:):):)

Does the Emporium deliver right to the ship, or do you have to carry the liquer back?
