Cozumel Rum and Gin Tasting, Cocktail Making and Lunch

Cozumel may be famous for its beaches, but some of its best finds are tucked away downtown. Walk beyond the waterfront with your guide, hear stories about island life, and arrive at an unexpected find: Cozumel’s first distillery. Rum belongs to the stories of the Caribbean—Spanish ships on the horizon, sailors following the trade winds, and pirates who turned the sea into legend. Inside, house-made rum and gin are crafted steps from the bar where you’ll taste them. Sample each one neat or in cocktail form and discover how ingredients and distillation shape the aromas and flavors in your glass. Then, watch a bartender turn those spirits into signature cocktails before taking the shaker into your own hands. Balance the flavors, add a final garnish, and enjoy the cocktail you created. The Caribbean’s old rum stories find a modern chapter here—in a stylish downtown bar, with tacos on the table, rum-infused fried plantain for dessert, and a cocktail in your hand that you mixed yourself.
