Costa Rica - Tales Of The Guaro
By Rick Chapo, Thu Dec 8th
Every country has a unique beverage it claims as its own. InCosta Rica, the beverage of choice is Guaro. Beverages There is a certain national pride associated with claiming analcoholic beverage. Think of Mexico and tequila immediatelycomes to mind. Vodka, of course, goes with Russia. Visit Greeceand an ouzo headache can't be far behind. Aquavit in Sweden willdefinitely turn your head...and stomach. Costa Rica, of course,couldn't miss out on the fun. (Article continued below)
Guaro Depending on which bartender you speak to, Guaro is either amind erasing alcohol beverage or an energy drink with a littlekick. Guaro is the national beverage of Costa Rica. Despitevisiting on multiple occasions, I have never tried.And for good reason. The Guinea Pig Ten of us were hanging out in the beach town of Carrillo justtaking in the evening after another day in the sun. Carrillo isa great town for fishing and a few epic surf spots are close by.It is similar to Tamarindo, but without the overwhelming ex-patinfluence. Unfortunately, Carrillo is extremely tame at night.Put another way, there is really nothing to do. A bit bored, the ten of us had congregated in a café overlookingthe ocean.

Tables and chairs had been pushed together and we hadreached the point in the evening where we were telling liesabout how great we used to be. The bartender/owner approachedour table and suggested we hadn't experience until wehad sampled Guaro. One of our merry band was selected. Known humorously as Mexico Mike, our guinea pig was experiencedin the ways of Mexican Tequila. Mexico was remotely close toCosta Rica, so the drinks were probably similar. Indeed, MexicoMike was the man for the job. The shot glass came. Jokes were made. Mike through it back. Asmall grimace, a lime, slaps on the back and general laughter.Just as we started egging each other on to be the next person toexperience Costa Rica, a funny thing happened. Mexico Mike was becoming Pink Mike. Laughter stopped and concernspread across the table like the rash developing on his arms. Wewere probably three hours from a hospital and the term "pinkeye" was taking on a much larger meaning. His skin was turningpink! You could actually see it moving down his arms and acrosshis chest. His girlfriend, Stuart, was not happy! It has to be an odd feeling to sit there and watch your skinchange colors. Mike was cracking jokes as is his nature, butthere was a definite tension to his laugh. Fortunately, thereaction soon slowed and retreated. Within 20 minutes, he wasgood as new and we had a new story to tell. We universally passed on further offers of Guaro. A traveler hasto know his or her limits!
