This was disclosed on January 12, 2024, by USA TODAY.

Every year for the 10Best Awards, USA TODAY’s panel of travel experts select the top 20 nominees in contests covering food, lodging, destinations and other travel-related categories. Then, readers vote for the top 10 spots in each category.

Soggy Dollar Bar

According to USA TODAY 10Best, the Soggy Dollar Bar is known for creating the Painkiller, a rum cocktail featuring cream of coconut, pineapple, orange juice, and fresh grated Grenadian nutmeg.

“Enjoy sipping on one as you look out over the beautiful turquoise water and bask in the warmth of the Caribbean sun,” USA TODAY 10Best stated.

Hendo’s Hideout

The publication said tropical cocktails and fresh seafood await at Hendo's Hideout, a beach bar along White Bay on Jost van Dyke.

“Local ingredients are featured in their Caribbean menu that can be enjoyed at lunch each day, as well as dinner on Wednesday through Saturay. Don’t leave without sipping the bar’s signature Delirious Donkey cocktail, described as ‘a distant cousin to the Moscow mule’,” USA TODAY 10Best stated.

Callwood Rum Distillery/Arundel Cane Rum

Callwood Rum Distillery, for the second consecutive year, placed eighth in the Best Caribbean Rum Distillery category.

USA TODAY 10Best said Callwood Rum Distillery is one of the oldest continuously operating pot distilleries in the Caribbean, producing a line of blended rums.

It said visitors to the family-owned and -operated facility can still see some of the old equipment used throughout the distillery’s history of making rum.

BVI Tourist Board in a social media post today, January 18, 2024, said it was “thrilled” to share the good news about Soggy Dollar Bar, Hendo’s Hideout and Callwood’s Rum Distillery and thanked all who voted for them.
