Belizean Rum and Coke

Rum is synonymous with the tropics, it is cheaper than beer and it flows freely in Belize. Mixed with nearly everything, rum could be considered the standard drink of Belize.

One of our favorite Belizean proverbs is: “Rum done, fun over.”

In Creole Proverbs of Belize Collected by Colville N. Young, D.Phil, it is one of only a few proverbs that needs no explanation.
