Guatemala Gifiti The Herbal Medicine For Love. The Gifiti made in Livingston Guatemala is alcohol in the normal sense of drinking.  It’s a potent inrush, setting a gong in the chest that resonates in places men think about most of the time anyway.

Gifiti or guiffity is a prepared drink created by the Garífuna ethnic group. Its name comes from the Garífuna language meaning “bitter”. It was created for medicinal purposes by Guatemalan and Honduran Afrodescendants but also attributed to aphrodisiac properties, restorative, and digestive, among others.

Herbs include herbs such as manzanilla, Perricone, anise, pepper, cloves, and man sticks, among others. In addition that consists only in its base of 7 plants, which can include up to 38 types of roots, leaves, branches, flowers, and different seeds.

It also makes women reconsider their center of gravity. Or, as one local maker of the Garifuna Gifiti blend of rum, herbs, roots, and spices puts it, “It makes old men have babies.”

Big Man- a mahogany-colored root found in the bush
Dead Man– a root used to enhance sexual drive.
Cloves- for flavoring

You let this mixture cure for a few weeks in the bottle sealed.

My first experience of drinking Gifiti was in Livingston Guatemala a number of years ago. My good friend Philipe who is Garifuna owned a restaurant on the main street of Livingston Guatemala.

A place of endless beauty and time standing still. Caribbean Beach on one side and the Rio Dulce River on the other side of town. About a 5-minute walk.

Philipe is a ladies’ man each day I would take a drink with him and watch as women one after another came to have a meeting with Philipe. Each day I would have a small glass of Philipe Guifiti.

Then head for the cool afternoon breezes on the Caribbean side of Livingston. Along the way, I would stop and pick up a flask of Guifiti from another small bar before the beachhead. Then sit and watch the waves and enjoy my drink.

It is said that Gifiti helps your man side become aroused.

Today the Garifuna live primarily in Central America. They live along the Caribbean Coast in Guatemala, Nicaragua, and Honduras including the mainland, and on the island of Roatán.
