5. Ti Punch Bar: Where the Locals Mingle

No trip to Martinique will basically be fully complete, and so, should involve diving into some very authentic “Ti Punch.” This place isn’t only just a bar, though; rather, it has just very deeply steeped local culture and gives that to travelers who walk through it’s doors. When people go there they create a “Ti Punch” made of rhum agricole, sugarcane syrup, maybe a little bit of lime to your taste. You should be able to unwind a little bit and perhaps talk with some local patrons, as that definitely happens more than you’d think in most bars. So maybe that bar, you’ll hear stories, get some ideas about places you can travel next, perhaps even a joke, who really knows?

Just getting that feeling of the locals as you enjoy some nice Caribbean booze is something I hope you’ll give a try!
