Guavaberry Emporium

St-Martin & Sint Maarten


In a sparkling red-and-white original Dutch West Indies house from the late 1700s, this store trades solely in the official liqueur of St-Martin/Sint Maarten. The original blend is made from rum, cane sugar and wild guavaberries from the island's interior, and has a bittersweet spiced flavor. Other releases feature almond, wild lime and mango.
