I love to collect postcards. When I travel on business, I stop into local antique stores and take a look around, especially for postcards from the Caribbean.

While visiting the Library Bar at the Four Seasons Nevis, our bartender, Candy, mixed up quite a few cocktails, including this Ting with a Zing, made with CSR, cane sugar rum from St. Kitts, and Ting, a delicious grapefruit soda from Jamaica.

Red Stripe was first brewed in Jamaica in 1928, first as a dark brown ale, and a few years later as the golden lager which we know today. Red Stripe has a connection to another favorite brew, Guinness. Red Stripe is currently owned by Diageo, a company formed in 1997 through a merger of Guinness (yes, that Guinness), and Grand Metropolitan. Diageo’s brands include Red Stripe, Guinness, Smithwick’s, Kilkenny, Harp, Tusker, Satzenbrau, Senator, and Windhoek. Hooray Beer! Cheers! SaveSave SaveSave
