What&#8217;s the most popular? What&#8217;s the drink that&#8217;s consumed the most? Which drink best represents the island? Let&#8217;s find out together! Here are our experiences so far:<\/p>\n<h3>Candidate number 1 Blue Curacao<\/h3>\n<p>Blue Curacao represents the island worldwide like no other drink. Although the orange liqueur is mixed with blue food coloring, the Caribbean Sea on many <a href=\"https:\/\/relaxedcuracao.com\/en\/beaches\/\">beaches<\/a>, such as the <a href=\"https:\/\/relaxedcuracao.com\/en\/beaches\/kenepa-grandi-grote-knip\">Grote Knip<\/a>, has exactly the same color (see cover collage).<\/p>\n<p>Blue Curacao is probably even more well-known than the island itself. At Relaxed Curacao, we\u2019re doing our part to make sure it doesn&#8217;t stay that way.<\/p>\n<p>Blue Curacao is often used in cocktails like the Swimming Pool or the Blue Lagoon. In my opinion, it&#8217;s better to mix it. I&#8217;ve tried a red Curacao liqueur. Why red? Just read our <a href=\"https:\/\/relaxedcuracao.com\/en\/lifestyle\/blue-curacao-genuine-original\">separate article on Blue Curacao<\/a>. Anyway, Taco from the Cactus Caf\u00e9 served it to me neat in a tumbler. It was a bit like drinking whiskey or cognac, because I could feel the high-proof power from the very first sip.<\/p>\n<p>The people of Curacao are proud that the only true, original Blue Curacao comes from their homeland. <a href=\"https:\/\/relaxedcuracao.com\/en\/lifestyle\/aldrich-hermelijn-curacaochronicle\">Aldrich Hermelijn<\/a>, who is a child of the island, recommends it as a <a href=\"https:\/\/relaxedcuracao.com\/en\/lifestyle\/best-souvenirs\">souvenir<\/a>. He thinks that everyone who visits Curacao should take one with them so they can say:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;Hey, this kind of liqueur is available everywhere, but I have the original.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<div id=\"attachment_8292\" style=\"width: 1050px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8292\" class=\"lazyload rounded-corners wp-image-8292 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/relaxedcuracao.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/lifestyle-blue-curacao-original-miniatures.jpg\" data-orig-src=\"https:\/\/relaxedcuracao.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/lifestyle-blue-curacao-original-miniatures.jpg\" alt=\"The miniatures of the Senior Curacao liqueurs including the original Blue Curacao\" width=\"1040\" height=\"585\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%271040%27%20height%3D%27585%27%20viewBox%3D%270%200%201040%20585%27%3E%3Crect%20width%3D%271040%27%20height%3D%27585%27%20fill-opacity%3D%220%22%2F%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/relaxedcuracao.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/lifestyle-blue-curacao-original-miniatures-200x113.jpg 200w, https:\/\/relaxedcuracao.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/lifestyle-blue-curacao-original-miniatures-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/relaxedcuracao.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/lifestyle-blue-curacao-original-miniatures-400x225.jpg 400w, https:\/\/relaxedcuracao.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/lifestyle-blue-curacao-original-miniatures-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/relaxedcuracao.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/lifestyle-blue-curacao-original-miniatures-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/relaxedcuracao.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/lifestyle-blue-curacao-original-miniatures-800x450.jpg 800w, https:\/\/relaxedcuracao.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/lifestyle-blue-curacao-original-miniatures-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/relaxedcuracao.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/lifestyle-blue-curacao-original-miniatures.jpg 1040w\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-orig-sizes=\"(max-width: 1040px) 100vw, 1040px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-8292\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The miniatures of Senior Curacao liqueurs are a popular souvenir<\/p><\/div>\n<p>We wouldn&#8217;t call Blue Curacao &#8220;the national drink&#8221;. Not everyone can afford it (375 ml is just under 17 euros) and not everyone likes the taste.<\/p>\n<h3>The search for the national drink of Curacao goes on<\/h3>\n<p>As members of generation Golf, we like to drink rum and coke &#8211; also known as Cuba Libre. And since rum is an export hit from the Caribbean, we are more or less at the source in Curacao &#8211; even though sugar cane doesn\u2019t grow on the island itself. Interestingly, stores and <a href=\"https:\/\/relaxedcuracao.com\/en\/bars-restaurants\/\">bars<\/a> have many different types of rum on offer. The spirits are sold separately at a counter in most supermarkets. You&#8217;ll find beer, sparkling wine, and wine on the shelves as usual.<\/p>\n<p>Stefan treated himself to a rum tasting one evening at <a href=\"https:\/\/relaxedcuracao.com\/en\/bars-restaurants\/bario-in-otrobanda\">Bario<\/a>. He tried varieties he&#8217;d never heard of, even though he used to work at the bar in his youth. The local rums are often flavored with vanilla. We prefer the Dominican Ron Barcelo, which we can also buy on Curacao, with a wedge of lime in it.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_9312\" style=\"width: 1050px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9312\" class=\"lazyload rounded-corners wp-image-9312 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/relaxedcuracao.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/lifestyle-national-drink-rum-cuba-libre-bario.jpg\" data-orig-src=\"https:\/\/relaxedcuracao.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/lifestyle-national-drink-rum-cuba-libre-bario.jpg\" alt=\"The bartender at Bario serves 2 glasses of Cuba Libre (rum and cola)\" width=\"1040\" height=\"585\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%271040%27%20height%3D%27585%27%20viewBox%3D%270%200%201040%20585%27%3E%3Crect%20width%3D%271040%27%20height%3D%27585%27%20fill-opacity%3D%220%22%2F%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/relaxedcuracao.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/lifestyle-national-drink-rum-cuba-libre-bario-200x113.jpg 200w, https:\/\/relaxedcuracao.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/lifestyle-national-drink-rum-cuba-libre-bario-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/relaxedcuracao.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/lifestyle-national-drink-rum-cuba-libre-bario-400x225.jpg 400w, https:\/\/relaxedcuracao.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/lifestyle-national-drink-rum-cuba-libre-bario-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/relaxedcuracao.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/lifestyle-national-drink-rum-cuba-libre-bario-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/relaxedcuracao.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/lifestyle-national-drink-rum-cuba-libre-bario-800x450.jpg 800w, https:\/\/relaxedcuracao.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/lifestyle-national-drink-rum-cuba-libre-bario-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/relaxedcuracao.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/lifestyle-national-drink-rum-cuba-libre-bario.jpg 1040w\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-orig-sizes=\"(max-width: 1040px) 100vw, 1040px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-9312\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Cuba libres in Bario<\/p><\/div>\n<h3>Green rum from Curacao<\/h3>\n<p>R\u00f2m B\u00e8rd\u00e8, as the green rum is called on <a href=\"https:\/\/relaxedcuracao.com\/en\/secrets\/papiamentu\">Papiamentu<\/a>, is only available in Curacao.

The list of pureed fruits is long, including mango, papaya, pineapple and banana. Guava and tamarind are less well-known here, but they\u2019re really popular in Curacao. With the hot <a href=\"https:\/\/relaxedcuracao.com\/en\/secrets\/weather-forecast-summer-all-year\">temperatures<\/a>, it&#8217;s important to stay hydrated and avoid hypoglycemia.

At least that&#8217;s our observation. Or is it because it has the same name in <a href=\"https:\/\/relaxedcuracao.com\/en\/secrets\/papiamentu\">Papiamentu<\/a>, Dutch, and German, and is so easy to order?<\/p>\n<p>Based on the huge selection in the supermarkets, we assume that beer sells like hot cakes. When we look at other people&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/relaxedcuracao.com\/en\/shopping\/shopping-tips-for-curacao\">purchases<\/a>, we almost always see beer. You can get Dutch, South American and local beers on Curacao, such as Montana, whose brewery you can visit in Landhuis Granbeeuw.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, I&#8217;m not much of a beer drinker, and I don&#8217;t drink it at home that often. When I do, it&#8217;s usually a shandy. But Curacao is almost my favorite place to drink it. In our experience, the most common varieties that you can get in almost all bars and restaurants are Polar and Amstel bright. While Stefan really likes Polar, I prefer Amstel bright. I like the pale, lighter beers such as Carib, Zulia and Brasa. They&#8217;re tangy like Pilsner, but not quite as bitter.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_9311\" style=\"width: 1050px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9311\" class=\"lazyload rounded-corners wp-image-9311 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/relaxedcuracao.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/lifestyle-national-drink-netto-bar-amstel-bright-colored-house.jpg\" data-orig-src=\"https:\/\/relaxedcuracao.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/lifestyle-national-drink-netto-bar-amstel-bright-colored-house.jpg\" alt=\"A yellow house in the Breedestraat, designed entirely in the colors of the Amstel Bright beer brand, which houses the Kam Yung restaurant\" width=\"1040\" height=\"585\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%271040%27%20height%3D%27585%27%20viewBox%3D%270%200%201040%20585%27%3E%3Crect%20width%3D%271040%27%20height%3D%27585%27%20fill-opacity%3D%220%22%2F%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/relaxedcuracao.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/lifestyle-national-drink-netto-bar-amstel-bright-colored-house-200x113.jpg 200w, https:\/\/relaxedcuracao.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/lifestyle-national-drink-netto-bar-amstel-bright-colored-house-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/relaxedcuracao.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/lifestyle-national-drink-netto-bar-amstel-bright-colored-house-400x225.jpg 400w, https:\/\/relaxedcuracao.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/lifestyle-national-drink-netto-bar-amstel-bright-colored-house-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/relaxedcuracao.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/lifestyle-national-drink-netto-bar-amstel-bright-colored-house-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/relaxedcuracao.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/lifestyle-national-drink-netto-bar-amstel-bright-colored-house-800x450.jpg 800w, https:\/\/relaxedcuracao.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/lifestyle-national-drink-netto-bar-amstel-bright-colored-house-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/relaxedcuracao.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/lifestyle-national-drink-netto-bar-amstel-bright-colored-house.jpg 1040w\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-orig-sizes=\"(max-width: 1040px) 100vw, 1040px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-9311\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Inventive beer facade<\/p><\/div>\n<p>On our walk through Otrobanda, we passed an Amstel bright-colored house on Breedestraat.
