Tahiti Drink
Tahiti Drink is an alcoholic mixed-drink cocktail that has been made by Manutea Tahiti S.A.[1] [2] since 1984. It is manufactured on the island of Moorea and is sold in distinctively colored cartons.[3] The drink, used as both a cocktail and a mixer, is a combination of pineapple, passion fruit and orange juices, to which vanilla and cane spirit are added. [4] [5] [6] [7]
Manutea Tahiti is owned by Jus de Fruits de Moorea S.A.,[8] [9] the largest juice and exotic fruit liquor manufacturer in the South Pacific.[10]
Tahiti Drink is available in Tahiti, and in the United States under the name Enchanted Isle.[11]

On the bay's northwest coast (PK11) is the road to the Moorea Fruit Juice Factory and Distillery. It's worth a stop to sample the famous Rotui Juices and the 'Tahiti Drink' fruit liquors.

We happily picked up six-pack Hinano along with a quart of the devilishly delicious Tahiti Drink (another local product... a mix of fruit juices mixed with some undetermined alcohol) and saved ourselves from the resort pricing.

This is the kind of terrible photo you end up taking if you drink enough cartons of 'Tahiti Drink' - not sure what's in it and takes a good few cartons, but unlike most things on the island it's very cheap!
