Three companies produce rum liqueurs that are sinfully delicious and remarkably low-priced, making them sure winners for Christmas or other presents, even for yourself. All are good on ice, mixed with cream or coffee or dripped over ice cream for a dessert that tastes like it took hours to make. The best liquor buys are in the litre size bottles which are duty free. Americans who have been out of the country for 48 hours or more are allowed to take home two litres of liquor each, one of which should have been bottled in the Bahamas or the Caribbean. Larger quantities may be taken, but a small tax may be assessed while clearing U.S. Customs at the airport in Nassau or Freeport.
Many visitors find spirits savings so substantial they gladly pay the extra tax.
Treasure Traders and Little Switzerland both handle bridal registries and accept china and crystal orders by telephone. Nassau and Freeport jewellers are watch specialists and all watches from internationally licenced dealers lining the streets of Nassau and Freeport come with international warranties.
