Rum swizzle, Bermuda (Photo by: @sunderstated)
Drink a Rum Swizzle
The Rum Swizzle may sound like a 50’s dance move, but we promise it’s so much better. Often referred to as Bermuda’s national drink, it gets its jazzy name not from the ingredients, like most cocktails, but from how it’s made–with a little swizzle, of course! It’s made with a swizzle stick, which is a stick from a tree found in the Caribbean that has finger-like prongs sticking out of the end, perfect for stirring! The bark, often no longer used, gives off a slightly bitter flavor. Now, when the bark isn’t or cannot be used, bitters are added in for flavor. Grab a Rum Swizzle and check another thing off your Bermuda bucket list!

Wander through Crystal Caves
Crystal Caves is a true natural wonder in Bermuda. You can see 50 feet down, through crystal clear water, that seems as if it’s hardly 2 feet deep. Above you, you’ll see one of the most beautiful sites–thousands of crystallized stalactites. It’s a sight unlike any other. If you’re really looking for the ultimate cave experience, you have to check out Grotto Bay Beach Resort’s spa! It’s located IN a cave!
