By Sarah Greaves-Gabbadon

From the Caribbean’s “nature island,” of Dominica we’re sharing Rosalie Bay resort’s signature cocktail, a rum-vodka combo guaranteed to transport you to where the Rosalie River meets black-sand beaches in a single sip. The magic ingredient? Rum infused with bois bande, made from the bark of a local tree and reputed to be a potent aphrodisiac. We can’t say for sure if it works but knock one back and see what comes up!
