First and foremost is Belize Rum – this locally produced spirit is made from sugarcane and has a distinctive flavor that sets it apart from other Caribbean rums. Whether enjoyed neat, on the rocks, or in a cocktail such as the classic rum punch or daiquiri, Belize Rum is a must-try for any traveler.
