Vacationing in Belize for the summer means tons of sunny, humid temperatures, and while you will need to keep up and keep hydrated, the good news is that you can do that early since the legal drinking age in Belize is 18, as opposed to 21 in the United States.
That’s right, at 18 you can legally get the party going in Belize as long as you are able to present a valid identification card with proof of your age. While it’s not usually enforced if needed convenience stores and supermarkets will require that you show a valid identification card to purchase liquor, beers, or any other alcoholic beverages. Being 18 in Belize also means that you are able to access bars and nightclubs on any of the entertainment strips across the country.
With the sweet sounds of Caribbean music playing in the background, the gentle swaying of coconut trees in the distance, and the soft sounds of waves lapping on the shore, it will be hard to resist a cold drink. After all, it’s vacation time and anything goes, and by anything, we mean even a swig of a cold, refreshing local mix drink that will have you coming back for more.
With several brands of alcohol brewed and packaged locally, we have come up with a list of only the best local mixes for you to sample. The first is a mixture of One Barrel Rum and coke, infused with ice cubes. This is popular among locals, quite affordable, and can be found at any and all restaurants, bars, or nightclubs across the country.
Other favorites include a mixture of Caribbean Rum with coke, grapefruit juice, or even cranberry juice depending on your preference. While most people would prefer the coke flavoured mixture, others wanting a more tropical taste can go for the grapefruit or cranberry flavor.
Needing a more tropical taste then you can try a swig of Coconut Rum with coconut water and ice cubes. This mixture is mild and can be savored on a hot day. Another favorite is Caribbean Gold Rum with cranberry juice and ice.
Whatever suits your cravings more, local bartenders can have you sipping away at the taste of locally brewed Belizean rum in no time, while Uncharted Jewel Belize can shuttle you straight from off of your flight to the nearest bar in minutes.
