Exploring Beverages Around the World
Each nation proudly claims a signature alcoholic drink. Mexico has tequila, Russia is synonymous with vodka, Greece brings to mind ouzo, and Sweden offers aquavit. Costa Rica joins this esteemed list with Guaro.
What is Guaro?
Opinions vary on Guaro: some see it as a potent spirit, while others describe it as an energizing drink with a kick. Known as Costa Rica's national beverage, Guaro is a must-try?"though I’ve managed to avoid it on my visits, and with good reason.
The Experiment in Carrillo
One evening in the beach town of Carrillo, after a sun-soaked day, ten of us gathered to enjoy the tranquil night. Known for fishing and close to epic surf spots, Carrillo is quieter compared to neighboring Tamarindo, with little to do after dark.
As we lounged in a café overlooking the ocean, reflecting on our past exploits, the bartender recommended we experience Costa Rica by trying Guaro. Our group elected Mexico Mike, a seasoned tequila drinker, as our guinea pig. Given his familiarity with Mexican spirits, we figured the drinks would be similar enough.
The Guaro Incident
With humor and anticipation, Mike took the shot of Guaro. Amidst jokes and laughter, something unexpected occurred?"Mike began to turn pink. The lightheartedness vanished as concern spread. Mike’s skin was visibly changing color, transforming across his arms and chest, much to our alarm and his girlfriend Stuart’s dismay.
A Whirlwind of Emotions
Witnessing your skin change colors is undoubtedly unsettling. Despite cracking jokes, Mike’s laughter was laced with nervousness. Fortunately, the reaction soon subsided. Within 20 minutes, he was back to normal, and we had a new tale to tell.
That night, we decided to forgo further Guaro adventures. Sometimes, knowing your limits is best.
