This place has been distilling rum since 1830, starting in nearby Venezuela. They moved to Trinidad in 1876. They have quite a lot of inventory:

What to have with your rum? Coconut water. And even if you aren't having rum, have some fresh coconut milk and jelly:

What to have for breakfast (with your rum and coconut water)? Doubles. Note quite Double Doubles from In-N-Out Burger or coffee from Tim Horton's. This time a traditional channa (curried chick-pea) and bara (bread) based snack from street vendors like this:

Make sure you get plenty of pepper sauce on your doubles, and if your mouth is too hot afterwards have a rum and coconut water.
