If there’s a drink that encapsulates the vibrant spirit of the Bahamas, it’s undoubtedly the Bahama Mama. This Bahama Mama cocktail recipe is a modified version of the signature recipe from the SeaSpray Resort in the Abacos, Bahamas. This drink will instantly deliver on the island vibes! And with the Pineapples on the Patio box, you have the perfect pineapple glasses, sunshine stir sticks, and colorful tray to deliver this drink to your guests with more than just a touch of sunshine.
Crafting the Bahama Mama Cocktail Magic
The Bahama Mama cocktail starts how any good cocktail starts, with a high quality rum. For this recipe, we suggest dark rum for extra depth, but a light rum would work fine, too. And of course, a tropical drink would not be complete without coconut rum. Layer in the sweet and tangy flavors of fresh pineapple and orange juices, with a hint of cherry juice or grenadine for that sunset hue. Shake it all together and you’re done!
Serve It Up with Style
Pour your hand-crafted Bahama Mama cocktail into a chilled pineapple glass from the Pineapples on the Patio box. To elevate your drink, garnish with a slice of pineapple or an orange wheel, perhaps even a maraschino cherry on top. And for that extra touch of Sun Cookery flair, don’t forget to slide in one of our tropical sunshine stir sticks.
Sip Your Way to the Islands
