Bahama Mama
This Bahama Mama Recipe is a luscious tropical drink swirling with pineapple juice, coconut rum, and a dash of grenadine syrup for that signature sunset hue. A classic rum cocktail with lively tropical flavors, perfect for beachside vibes or a backyard summer soirée.
Ingredients
- 1 oz Coconut Rum (Malibu or a smooth Caribbean brand)
- 1 oz Dark Rum (Myers’s or Gosling’s for rich depth)
- 1 oz Light Rum (Bacardi or Plantation 3 Stars)
- 2 oz Pineapple Juice (fresh-pressed or 100% juice carton)
- 1 oz Orange Juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1/2 oz Grenadine Syrup (homemade or quality store-bought)
- as needed Ice Cubes
- as needed Pineapple Wedge and Maraschino Cherry, for garnish
Instructions
- Pop a hurricane or highball glass in the freezer for about 5 minutes—cold glass, crisp drink.
- In a cocktail shaker, pour in coconut, dark, and light rums.
- Measure in the pineapple and orange juices.
- Fill the shaker three-quarters full with ice, secure the lid, and shake vigorously for about 10 seconds.
- Strain into your chilled glass over fresh ice. Drizzle grenadine slowly down a spoon’s back for a sunset gradient.
- Skewer a pineapple wedge and cherry on a pick, perch it on the rim, and drop in a mint sprig if desired.
Notes
Look for 100% pineapple juice for the best taste. Squeeze oranges yourself for fresh zest. Shortcut homemade grenadine for the perfect rosy color.
