Gifiti is a traditional Garífuna herbal liqueur made by infusing rum with a mix of medicinal herbs, roots, tree bark, and spices, such as anise, allspice, clove, garlic, and sometimes bitterwood or ginseng. Originally created for its medicinal properties, Gifiti is believed to promote vitality, improve circulation, and ward off illness. The preparation varies by family and village, often passed down through oral tradition, with roots in African, Indigenous, and Caribbean healing practices. Strong, bitter, and aromatic, Gifiti is typically served in small amounts—either sipped or shot—and is widely consumed in Garífuna coastal communities such as Tela and La Ceiba.
