Cruzan rum distillery tour on St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands
This is a tour of the Cruzan rum distillery on St. Croix in the U.S. Virgin Islands on March 6, 2018. We made an unscheduled stop in St. Croix on a Viking Cruises Caribbean cruise on account of weather and decided to make the most of it by taking this tour. Unlike Captain Morgan which forbids photos or videos, Cruzan feels they have nothing to hide and allow it. Will always drink Cruzan over Captain Morgan for this reason alone. Also, in addition to allowing photos and videos, this was a really nice tour which included not 1 but 2 decent samples of different rums. Highly recommend this tour. From everything I read before and certainly after taking it it seems way better than the Captain Morgan one and so we were flabbergasted that only 10 Viking people signed up for this one where over 90 signed up for Captain Morgan. I am positive we got a much better tour than they did because they really went into detail in this tour as to how the rum is made where Captain Morgan really does not--everything they do is a trade secret.
FYI, rum used to be made all over the Caribbean because the sugar was grown there and so it made economic sense to make the rum where transportation of the sugar would be at the lowest cost. Fast forward to 2018--sugar is no longer grown in the Caribbean. Jim Beam owns 50% of Cruzan we were told and get this, they now import the molasses (sugar) to make Cruzan from somewhere outside the Caribbean (the U.S. I think the tour guide said). I just cannot see how that makes economic sense from a transportation cost point of view. Really wanted to ask that question but didn't have chance to.
Cruzan Rum Distillery Tour
Welcome to the bonus video the don't hurry rum well known as Cruzan Rum. When visiting St. Croix, this is a absolutely stop on the to-do-list. The tour is $8 including 2 drinks, 2 shot, and I if you tip high enough you just might get a little extra extra lol. You can also purchase all the different types of Cruzan Rum here for a fraction of what you'll pay outside the territory. Hi to my friends from Antigua ????

Cruzan Rum Distillery, St. Croix (December 30, 2011 visit - part of Sweeny's Safari Tours)
Sweeny's Safari Tours welcomed us to St. Croix - sightseeing and learning about St. Croix's history, cultural traditions, politics, botany, and more.
Our Island Tour started at the Pier in FREDERIKSTED and we headed to our first stop: The Cruzan Rum Distillery - producing the world's finest rum since 1650.
The Nelthropp family continues the tradition of producing this high quality rum using only the purest, natural ingredients and process. A visit to the distillery showed us how Cruzan Rum is made (altough due to the Holiday, note that the production was not in progress during our December 30th 2011 visit).
After the tour we were offered free samples at the Visitor's pavilion, and could buy the many varieties of rum and merchandise directly from the source!

Parts of the Tour of the Cruzan Rum Factory on St. Croix
This is a just a few parts of the tour of the Cruzan Rum Factory on St. Croix. The tours cost about $8.00 per person and run every half hour (or so) and take about a half hour. Stay a while and don't show up after 3:00 PM because they close around 4:00 PM.
They are open Saturdays, sometimes.
At the end of the tour, you get a couple mixed drinks and some shots of rum thrown in for your trouble.
You can also buy good and inexpensive rum of all types and flavors. The best part is they package it up for you to take back to the States and a checked box of Cruzan rum does not count as a checked bag at the airport....

Beer Drinking Pigs in St Croix, US Virgin Islands
Pigs that drink beer??? Who knew! St Croix, USVI is a quaint, historical, relaxing friendly little island in the Caribbean Sea. It is famous for having the Eastern most point of the United States, Point Udall; it's Cruzan Rum Distillery, beer drinking pigs, beautiful beaches, (our favorite was Mermaid Beach at the Buccaneer Hotel), & so much more! There is so much rich history & culture on this Danish inspired island, as well as snorkeling at Buck Island & fabulous food!
Just to be clear, the pigs actually drink O'Douls, a non alcoholic beverage. They only consume the liquid & drop the crushed can when they are finished.

The Cruzan Confusion with Cruzan Rum
The Cruzan Confusion, I've heard many recipes called by the name, this one comes directly from Cruzan so it must be their official version. Although some bars will pour five or so flavored rums into a bucket and call it the Cruzan Confusion.
You be the judge, is this cocktail worth holding the name Cruzan Confusion? It's easy to make if you have Cruzan Mango and Cruzan Coconut (and a tad pineapple juice). Thoughts?
