Bahama Mama Slush

Slushie machineHighballHurricane glass

This makes a 1 litre batch for a slushie machine. The sugar and alcohol are balanced so it freezes properly, so stick to the amounts.

Ingredients

How to make it

Whisk the coconut cream into the pineapple juice until smooth, then stir in the rum, orange juice and grenadine. Pour into the slushie machine and run its alcoholic preset (the batch card shows which one) until the slush is ready. Serve in hurricane glasses with a pineapple wedge and a cherry.

About the Bahama Mama Slush

Nassau bartender Oswald Greenslade claimed to have created the Bahama Mama in the 1960s, naming it after a calypso singer, though the drink seems to be older. Use sweetened cream of coconut, as in a Piña Colada.
