What to Drink in Roatan - BlueBahia

ROATAN, United States MO Islands - Oct. 17, 2018 - PRLog -- When one thinks of relaxing in a hammock on a remote island, having a tropical drink in hand is almost always a part of the fantasy.  It seems that every tropical island has its own special drink and Roatan, off the north coast of Honduras, is no exception.  The fruity drink of choice on Roatan is known as the Monkey Lala.

Named after a local lizard that can be seen running around the island on its hind legs, the Monkey Lala lizard is more scientifically known as the Basilisk.  Another name for the Basilisk is the Jesus Lizard due to its ability to run short distances over water.  Drinking too many Monkey Lalas may have you believing you can also walk on water!  The alcoholic version of this drink is one that can be quite deceptive.  It's a very sweet drink, but carries a strong alcoholic wallop.

The ingredient list tells the story about how the Monkey Lala can be so subtle yet so intoxicating.  Although the recipe will vary with every bartender across the island, it will typically include ice, Kahlua, Bailey's, rum, vodka, coconut cream, banana, chocolate syrup and pineapple juice.  Extreme caution is needed if you plan on drinking more than one!

Beer

If you don't like the idea of drinking what amounts to an injection of sugar and alcohol, there are a handful of local beers.  They are all brewed by Cerverceria Hondurena on the mainland, but will be found all over the island of Roatan as well.  The lager, Salva Vida, is the most popular and has an ABV of 4.8%.  Cerveza Barena is a lager similar to Mexican beers like Corona and is somewhat lighter with an ABV of 4.6%.  The third lager is Cerveza Imperial at 5%, whereas the German style pilsner, Port Royal Export, has an ABV of 4.9%.

Rum

The most popular rum in Honduras is Flor de Cana even though it is distilled by a Nicaraguan company.  Flor de Cana did set up a distillery in Honduras in the early 70s which probably plays a role in its popularity in Honduras.
