BILI, The Drink of Vieques Patronales!

Bili is a local drink found during Vieque Island's Carnival Patronales and summer celebrations. It is rum that has been fermented with Quenepas. Quenepas are added to white rum along with vanilla, brown sugar, cinnamon, etc. and then is stored in a dark place for about 1 month. The Quenepa is a small edible tropical fruit with green leathery skin and sweet juicy translucent pulp that grows locally and typically ripens during the summer.

MEDALLA LIGHT, The Local Cerveza

Puerto Rico's first and top selling light 🍺 is Medalla Light. There is no Regular Medalla, just light exists and this year with the introduction of Medalla Light into the US the name has been revamped to Medalla Premium Light. The light lager style brewed beer is found at every bar on the island and some say it is more popular than water.
