Great Food And Drink In St Kitts And Nevis

Treating yourself to refreshments and local delicacies is always a fun part of a vacation. Here are some of the best dishes, drinks, excursions-tours, and restaurants to explore.

Kittitian Rum-Master Program

The cherished tradition of rum making is alive and well on the island—led by born-and-bred Kittitians who are reclaiming it. From blends made with native spices to walking tours through the oldest surviving distillery in the Caribbean, aspiring RumMasters are taught everything they need to know about the spirit of St. Kitts. 

In St. Kitts, rum isn’t simply rum. It’s a remnant of a time when sugarcane fields covered the island; a tradition as enduring as the island itself. At Hibiscus Spirits, the soon-to-be Rum Masters become makeshift mixologists with the help of owner Roger Brisbane: beakers, shakers, and droppers infuse the spirit with local flavors like Roselle Hibiscus calyx. Each addition adds nuance to the tasting experience—part ingenuity, part passion, part boldness.

Cooking With Ras Iroy

This is quite an immersive adventure. It is a cooking experience which takes place on a Rastafarian farm. The cuisine is vegan.
Participants harvest their ingredients on the farm and then cook them as instructed by Chef Ras Iroy. The cooking is done on an open fire and in earthenware (clay pots made on Nevis from Nevis clay).

Participants in groups of two or three individuals have their own pot and fire. Participants dine on the food they cooked. This is a fantastic tour for couples, families or groups.

Killer Bee

We thought we would start things off with a refreshing and deadly cocktail. It is made with orange juice, passion fruit, soda, rum, and honey. Oh, did we forget the sprinkle of pepper? This great drink really delivers a kick.

Local rums like Brinley Gold or Belmont Estate are typically used.

Mango Ginger Chicken

Mangos are common across Saint Kitts and Nevis, and this great dish is the perfect way to enjoy it.

Goat Waterstew
