They rock moonshine at Destilería Coquí in Mayaguez!
That’s because a young Puerto Rican couple in 2006 took the
oldest and most traditional Puerto Rican rum, “Ron Caña” -- which was illegal
for over 500 years -- and legalized it as the registered brand Pitorro®. We discovered
this unique, handcrafted rum at our local supermarket and were immediately
hooked by its wide variety of flavors and the bits of fruit we found in the bottom
of the uniquely-shaped bottles.
Today, Destilería Coquí is the largest artisan distillery on
the island. Come take a tour of this family-owned distillery just a few minutes
up the road from our home in Cabo Rojo! The tour was only $10, and we saw every
aspect of distillation. But of course the best part was the bar!

Mark Holm, who was visiting from Pennsylvania!)
