Cadushy Distillery

Bonaire


Drinking a cactus sounds like a prickly affair, but it's not as scary as it sounds. Pay a visit to this small-scale distillery to see how the prickly green plant is turned into the delicious 'Spirit of Bonaire' known as Cadushy. Sample it in the shady courtyard, surrounded by blooming gardens and squawking parrots. Or visit the new shop in Kralendijk.
