RickG - West Indian Viagra?

Post by augie »

Not the homemade variety that you provided 6 on the beach the recipe to, I think I remember you making the same reference to a brand of beer you bought on island (a stout maybe?).

We're actually getting close enough that I can contact Mixology with our booze order - what a milestone!

Hmmmmm, the motto for Guinness Foreign Extra Stout is "Strength!"

Actually, Foreign Extra Stout is a problem for Mixology. You need to be very specific when you order it: Guiness, bottles, 7.5% alcohol, paper labels - you know "Guinness Foreign Extra Stout."

Starfish is a better bet. They also have Dragon, Ceres, and a couple of others.

Another good spot to get one is the small concession stand next to La Tapa, at $2!

When you buy this stuff from a West Indian lady she WILL comment. "Ladies, watch out, he is taking his medicine!"

Have you ever heard of the local Guavaberry Wine? Only a few people make it on STJ, and many refer to it as island viagra. Be warned tho, it is served in shot form :twisted: and after surviving the experience on a dare, i would suggest getting a beer chaser. This stuff is mighty powerful, and do not drink this stuff near an open flame!

Vita Malt has long been reputed to put the "lead in one's pencil."

Your individual mileage may vary.

I look for Guavaberry wine when we are on island for Carnival. I like the versions made with rum, though I have seen grain alcohol based versions. Its quite citrusy and tasty, in a liquor sort of way. The Guavaberry Licqeur from St. Martin is very sweet and quite different. Though, it works well in a hot tub when its snowing.

"The guy" for Guavaberry wine is Sweet's on the left out toward Concordia. The sign says he rents snorkle gear.
