1. Rum: Barbados is the birthplace of rum & there are many satisfying local blends to enjoy.
Why not take a tour of a local rum factory, taste the blends and create your own custom cocktail! See available rum tours
2. Beer: Try the award-winning locally brewed Banks Beer or 10 Saints which is uniquely aged in rum casks. For the best of both worlds try this amazing beer and rum tour: http://www.partner.viator.com/en/14755/tours/Barbados/Banks-Brewery-and-Mount-Gay-Rum-Tour-in-Barbados/d30-6836P8
3. Mauby: A refreshing brew made from the bark of the Mauby tree & various spices.
This is somewhat of an acquired taste as mauby can be quite bitter.
4. Coconut Water: This delicious revitalizing drink is best enjoyed from a freshly cut coconut. Tip: the soft white jelly inside is equally delicious!
Check out the amazing skills of this road-side coconut vendor:
5. Water: Naturally purified through limestone filtration, Barbados tap water is safe to drink.
You’ll sometimes hear locals ask for a “Bowmanstan special”, referencing the Bowmanstan water pumping station.
