For authentic island flavor, look no further than this shop, which sells St. Maarten's national liqueur. Crafted of cane sugar, oak-aged rum, and the elusive guavaberries that grow in the island's central hills, this signature spirit boasts an addictive flavor that visitors come to love. Not at all like the guava plant, the guavaberry rum has a woody, fruity, spicy, bitter-sweet flavour all of its own. Previously made only in individual homes, the liqueur is now produced in larger quantities for the growing market following a recent revival. Several formulations are available here, along with hot sauces, clothing and colognes.
