As a Caribbean expat I’m always excited when I find something that for me speaks to the Caribbean culture and while I know VitaMalt is not a Caribbean product the fact that I first had it in the Caribbean will always remind me of home. Ever since I was a young child VitaMalt has never been my preferred malt drink, that title is held by Malta India from Puerto Rico, and if you didn’t know the US Virgin Islands has a special friendship with Puerto Rico so we enjoy many of their food, drinks, and mix the languages.
From a very young age, my family has always drunk Malta India over VitaMalt, I often found Vita Malt to be way too bitter for my palette and Malta to be sweeter but since moving to France the only Malt drink I’ve actively drunk has been Vita Malt. I was shocked when I found it to taste about the same as my beloved Malta.
So far I’ve had the original flavor, the Ginger flavored one, and the Coconut and Hibiscus one, it’s kind of hard for me to actually say which is my favorite since they all seem to cater to a specific mood, I love everything Ginger so maybe the Ginger has a slight advantage over the others.
This was an interesting flavor, I didn’t think I would like it but it’s nice, I only have the Acai flavor left to try.

I’m still waiting to try the Acai flavored one, I’m really interested in seeing what it tastes like because, with the Coconut and Hibiscus one you can’t really taste the Hibiscus, I would be very hard-pressed to say that you can taste it at all. It definitely has a very Coconut flavor but there is a hint of something else. I’ve actually had it again since this post and I can see us drinking whenever we find it in the store because it’s so hard to find things that remind me of home.
