What Is Under The Counter? The Strongest Rum In The World In Grenada...
Intro
During my time in Grenada, I had the opportunity to try a drink that quite literally put hair on my chest. Rum around the world is different, whether it be rums from Central America, Cuba, Barbados, or, yes, Grenada. Grenada rum is quite something, although I am not sure what exactly is in it. Let me explain.
The Details
If you happen to be planning a vacation to Grenada, I am going to give you one tip. Each bar you go to has a homemade rum drink by the name of "Under The Counter." While each bar serves it slightly differently, you can guarantee that the drink is going to burn your internal organs 😂. Honestly, who knows what under the counter is made from...
I was warned and warned again. Drinking this so-called "under the counter" is like no alcoholic drink I have ever had. My advice would be to have a chaser, as the spices and supposed moonshine kick ya right in the a**.
Well, after the first night of only having a couple, I woke up the next morning to my video going viral of doing the shot (you can read about that in a separate post). That meant it was time for round 2.
After 2 days, here is what I looked like...
My last piece of advice: take it easy! 😂 At the same time, if you come to Grenada, it is probably for vacation, so go have fun! I had the time of my life in Grenada and under the counter felt like a way to bond with the local culture+ I love rum😅.
Final Thoughts
If you are in Grenada or planning to go soon, make sure to remember to ask for "under-the-counter" rum. It is an experience you will never forget, but be aware that the first shot is going to burn like heck😅.
