About the Bahama Mama
Nassau bartender Oswald Greenslade claimed to have created it in the 1960s. Many bars add coffee liqueur, an unusual touch for a rum punch.
Missing something?
- No Dark Rum? Use Aged Rum (Lighter, less molasses)
- No Dark Rum? Use Gold Rum (Lighter, less molasses)
- No Coconut Cream? Use Cream (Loses the coconut flavour)
- No Pineapple Juice? Use Pineapple (Blend fresh pineapple and strain it; it foams just as well)
- No Orange Juice? Use Orange (Squeeze fresh: 1 orange gives about 70 ml)
- No Orange Juice? Use Blood Orange Juice (Berry-like and deep red)
- No Grenadine? Use Raspberry Syrup (Berry instead of pomegranate)
