The Delight Of Chocolate And Rum

OVERVIEW

Discover how two signature Roatan products – artisan chocolates and hand-crafted rums – are made step-by-step and enjoy samplings of both. The celebrated spirits are distilled using all-natural locally sourced ingredients that are blended together to create a variety of tasty rums. Roasted cocoa beans are used in the chocolate rum, pure coconut extract is mixed into another rum, and yet another rum is spiced with vanilla and orange peels. The rums are also mixed into coffee creams, infused into cigars and used to flavor cakes. You will delve just as deeply into chocolate at a museum that showcases the history of this sweet treat made from the fruit of cacao trees. The story is fascinating as is the process of making chocolate. While driving around the island, you will also pause for photos at the multi-colored Roatan sign and at West Bay Beach, a gorgeous sugar-white stretch of sand that is immensely popular.
