Puerto Rico Has Some of the Best Spirits in the World

That is where La Licorera comes in.
We help customers access Puerto Rico’s most exciting bottles while offering personalized service, curated recommendations, and shipping coordination directly from the island.

Why Alcohol Shipping From Puerto Rico Works Differently
One of the biggest misconceptions people have is assuming alcohol shipping works like Amazon.
It does not.
Because Puerto Rico is an island, alcohol shipments traveling to the mainland United States often require:
-
Air transportation
-
Special carrier handling
-
Compliance verification
-
Protective packaging
-
Weight-based pricing
That means shipping costs can vary dramatically depending on:
-
State destination
-
Number of bottles
-
Bottle size and weight
-
Packaging requirements
-
Current air freight rates
Why We Personally Quote Every Shipment
At La Licorera, we believe in transparency.
Instead of inflating hidden shipping costs into product pricing, we quote shipping separately and at cost based on your exact order.
This is why mainland shipping is not automatically calculated at checkout.
Every shipment is personalized to Ensure compliance.

The Secret to Saving on Shipping: Order Multiple Bottles
Here is something most people do not realize:
Shipping one bottle from Puerto Rico can sometimes cost nearly the same as shipping several bottles together.
Estimated example:
-
1 bottle may cost approximately $90 to ship
-
4 bottles may average closer to approximately $30 per bottle
These are estimates only, but they help explain why customers often build curated shipments instead of purchasing a single bottle.
Why Customers Choose La Licorera
We are not just another liquor store, we have the largest variety and the only ones authorized to ship outside of Puerto Rico and with archipielago reach.
