St. Vincent’s culture revolves around Sunset Very Strong Rum, which is consumed in a very particular manner on the island.

The cocktail is made by the locals with only two components: half of a lime is squeezed into a tumbler, then a shot of Sunset Very Strong is added, and the remainder of the glass is filled with ice cold water.

The three individuals operate in perfect sync with one another to smooth out any harshness caused by the beverage’s high alcohol level.

You only need to down that one shot when you’re feeling particularly down, and you’ll be ready to go for the rest of the day: it’s a drink that’s not only incredibly refreshing but also the ideal prescription for a “hair of the dog.”
