Jamaican and Trini Beverages
Things to drink - when you're in the Caribbean.

Ginger Beer-
Jamaican Not really beer - it's soda. But it's laced with a strong and pungent amount of ginger. If you like ginger, it's quite tasty! (Phil thought it too strong - I could actually have handled a little more...) 3.2 stars! Would I try again? Yum, it's strong and good! Where I found it: Ali's Roti Shop |
| Mauby - Jamaican A native drink that consists of Mauby bark, water and sugar. Extremely bitter. I really was not fond of this one at all! (It got a little bit better over time, but not much.) Would I try again? Oh, no. Nasty! Where I found it: Ali's Roti Shop |

Peanut Punch -
Jamaican Yet another drink that's considered an aphrodesiac. It's peanut juice, sugar cane, guar gum and a few other ingredients. Tastes sweet and peanutty. It's nice. Would I try again? Sure. Where I found it: Tremes |

Sea Moss -
Jamaican It's considered a healthy drink in the Carribean, and it's kinda nice. It includes sea moss, gum arabic, milk, cane sugar and milk. It's milky, frothy, and has a milk-shake type taste. Worth trying at least once. Would I try again? Every once in awhile, sure. Where I found it: Tremes |

Sorrell -
Jamaican Sorrell (a type of plant), sugar and spices. Don't know much about this, but it has a certain amount of "bite" to it. It can contain wine, although that's not mandatory. It's good, but not mindblowing. Would I try again? Occasionally. Where I found it: Tremes |
