The Bahama Mama

I’m in The Bahamas for a brief vacation and I came across this amazingly refreshing cocktail called The Bahama Mama. Vanilla and coffee flavored liquors mix with fresh pineapple and orange juice. A splash of grenadine adds a final cherry touch to this cool cocktail. Top each drink with an orange wedge and several strawberries.

Shopping List

• 1¼ oz. Meyer’s Rum
• ½ oz. Kahlua
• ½ oz. Nassau Royale*
• 2½ oz. orange juice
• 2½ oz. pineapple juice
• 1 oz. grenadine
• 1 cup ice
• Orange wedges & strawberries for garnish
  

* Nassau Royale can only be found in The Bahamas, so I’d suggest a vanilla-flavored rum as a substitute.
