"For generations, native Saint Martiners have infused Caribbean rum with spicy guavaberries. Nothing like the juicy guava fruit trees from Latin America or Asia, this native tree (Myrciaria floribunda) is in the same family as clove and allspice, and its sweet-tart berries give the rum a spicy, bittersweet flavor. “It’s not Christmas without guavaberry,” says Louis Maccow, who founded the Guavaberry Colombier with his wife, Luz-Maria Maccow. After perfecting their recipe for the traditional spirit, the Maccows created a lighter version with a softer guavaberry taste, along with a vast line of liqueurs infused with everything from mango and sorrel (hibiscus flower) to coconut and cashew fruit. The surprise hit: the creamy peanut liqueur you never knew you needed. [$$]" - Maria C. Hunt
A nice tourist oriented shop selling some God-awful tasting stuff that has a cultural niche in St Martin. The shop keeper was very friendly and offered teaspoon sized samples of all kinds of products. The place is a bit of a challenge to drive to. We ended up walking up a pretty steep incline to get from a parking area to the store. Prices were all in Euros but they accepted any currency.

Very friendly and very knowledgeable owner of the factory. I tasted a lot and bought even more :-) It was incredible to learn about the islands history and also I got my own personal birthday bottle made just for me!
