Drinks at Sunshine's Beach Lounge, Pinney's Beach, Charlestown, Saint Kitts and Nevis

Add to My List Check Off

The most basic of huts, with a couple of picnic tables outside, the food, mainly spicy shrimp and fresh lobster at knock down prices, is a delight. But the real thrill comes when you order a "killer bee" cocktail -- the most popular drink on the island, and one that locals will tell you is prepared properly only at Sunshine's. Involving rum and honey, the secret element comes from all manner of other ingredients that may or may not include black pepper and nutmeg. The waiters here will tell you that none of the Internet recipes that claim to have figured out the secrets have got it right so far. Poured out of a milk container into a plastic cup, the amber glow of the drink seems fairly harmless at first. But if you want to drink like the locals, and probably have a sore head the following morning, getting stung by a killer bee (or four) is a rite of passage in Nevis.
