Palmyra toddy is a staple of northern culture and is perfectly safe if consumed fresh. You must go early in the morning (around 8 AM to 10 AM) when it is sweet and mildly fermented. If you drink it late in the afternoon, the heat causes rapid fermentation, making it highly alcoholic and sour, which might upset a foreign stomach.

Do not eat the super spicy raw seafood they sell outside the tavern if you have a weak stomach though.

We drank it out of folded palmyra leaves. It was an incredible cultural experience, completely safe.
