River Lime drinks "Traditional and Modern"




 The Recreational river lime provides a lot of nonalcoholic homemade juices together with commercial carbonated sweet drinks, solo drinks, pear drinks, cokes and Pepsi Cola . These soft drinks are provided with children in mind, the intention is not to indulge the children in Alcohol. 
Beers of all types are chilled in coolers under crush ice and provides a refreshing beverage with minimal alcohol to quench your thirst in the Sun. Most common are our very own Carib and Stag, People are now showing preference to lighter beers i.e beers with lower calorie and alcohol content since most of the outdoor enthusiast are looking at their body weight.


But what is a Trini river lime without our famous "hard liquors." Our hard Liquor range from the basic white oak to double dog scotch whiskey, this depends on the affluence and taste of members of the river lime. The occasion also place an important role e.g. birthdays or Job promotion, since on these occasions more exotic brands are consumed .

There is also the desire to participate in old traditional drinks, "Babash" and "Puncheon rum." These drinks seems to ignite the appetite of the young and adventurous, they toss it around as if it is now discovered. It is believed that it warms the body in the cold waters, in the case of police presence the illegal babash is secretly served while the Puncheon rum is more predominant.

These hard rums are also chosen because of the price, it gives a head after consuming a small amount when compared with other brands. At times the Puncheon rum is mixed with different cheap wines (Hard wines) to increase the volume of the drinks. 

Of course as tasty and exciting as these drinks are we all are advised and cautioned to drink responsibly.

As Trini's say "Rum till I die"
