Bahama Mama Cocktail
Tired of summer classics like mojito or capirinha? Try the sweet and exotic...
Bahama Mama, a cocktail that triumphs in the Caribbean. There they drink it from freshly picked coconuts, here we will have to settle for a tall glass...
Bahama Mama is not only the title of a Boney M song, it is also an ideal cocktail for summer nights. Very tasty and refreshing. However, it is quite important that you like rum, as this combination uses two types of rum, and tropical fruits, which also carries a few. Let's take a look at its ingredients:
15 ml of strong rum (Bacardi 151, for example)
15 ml of Malibu
15 ml grenadine
30 ml orange juice
30 ml pineapple juice
250 ml of crushed ice
5 ml of coffee liqueur (optional)
The best way to prepare a Bahama Mama is with a mixer, mixing all the ingredients and crushed ice to achieve a consistency similar to that of slushies. If you do it in a shaker you should use four or five ice cubes. It is usually garnished with a slice of lemon or orange and the classic umbrella, which gives it an even more summery touch.
There are variations according to the type of rum used for its preparation and there is even a reduced version for those who do not have too many ingredients on hand. Here is the example. Drink in moderation!
