cruisePAC Posted April 1, 2015 #1 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Back in the late '90s, my parents took a cruise that stopped in St. Maarten. They brought back a few bottles of guava berry - a sweet, port-like drink. They said that it could only be purchased in St. Maarten. Is this still produced in St. Maarten and can it still be purchased? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EatonDoolittle Posted April 1, 2015 #2 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Yes, and it is stil the only place to get it. They have a kiosk right at the pier, but also a store in town. Very EZ to grab a few bottles on your way back to the ship. I always get myself a guavaberry colada for the walk back as well. Delicious. If for some reason the pier side kiosk is not open, the big gift shop in the pier side mini mall also has it, but they mark up the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtaylor Posted April 2, 2015 #3 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Guavaberry products are also available in almost all grocery and liquor stores (and many jewelry stores) across the island. gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EatonDoolittle Posted April 4, 2015 #5 Share Posted April 4, 2015 How much does it cost a bottle of guavaberry? I don't recall exactly, but pretty cheap, I believe, in the neighborhood of $25 or so. I does not really matter tho. If you like it and want it, get it. You won't find it at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modi Posted April 10, 2015 #7 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Guavaberry Rum Info. http://www.guavaberry.com/index.php To me the basic Guavaberry Rum tastes much like cough medicine. Also be on the lookout for Ma Doudou Rum. It is also unique to St. Martin/Sint Maarten and is sold in many stores, and their "factory" is basically a quaint, colorful, little hut on the French side. It comes in many flavors in hand painted bottles. Ma Doudou Rum Info. http://www.rhummadoudou.com/ There is also this very cool video that explains all about Ma Doudou The Art of Making Ma Doudou Rum - On Voyage.tv Guavaberry Rum and Ma Doudou are both considered "artisan rum" and by virtue of bearing that designation you can take back as much as you care to pack to the USA.
