ackee is legally restricted for export when unripe due to toxicity — an unusual national dish ingredient. The a Kingston jerk pit is where you learn these pairings — they evolved together. If you've been having Escovitch Fish with the wrong drink, try it correctly once. It's a genuinely different experience. The restaurant deserves credit for getting this right.
