BAHAMA MAMA
½ ounce rum
½ ounce coconut-flavored
rum
½ ounce grenadine syrup
½ ounce Crème
de Banana
1 ounce orange juice
1 ounce pineapple juice
Nassua, Bahama,
was 82 degrees today and Willoughby, Ohio, was only 72. Still, it was feeling
beachy on the golf course where me, my Mom and sister celebrated Mother’s Day
with nine holes of golf. I am not a golfer, but I like to go every once in
while, especially when I can drive a cart and drink cocktails.
The BAHAMA MAMA was
a delicious choice of cocktails and made a great cooler drink. There are a few
different kinds of BAHAMA MAMA recipes out there. The one I used that is above
is a combination of two recipes and is based on what I had at home. You could probably
skip one of the ingredients and the cocktail would be just as good. Fresh
pineapple and oranges instead of juice will work even better. To make a BAHAMA
MAMA, just put what you do have into a blender, add about two cups of crushed
ice and blend. It should come out a little slushy, which keeps it nice and
cold.

The BAHAMA MAMA is
fruity and fresh. It’s tropical, but not sickly sweet. All the different juices
give it a nice balance of flavors, and the rum is barely detectable. If you’ve
only had cheap versions of this cocktail in bad tourist traps, try making one
at home. You’ll probably like it much better. My sister said the BAHAMA MAMA is
the best cocktail I’ve made her so far. But she didn’t drink enough if it,
because she sure felt it when I hit her in the back with my ball as I was
taking a shot toward the green. Whoops! Maybe next Mother’s Day, we’ll find a
beach.
