The next drink I tried was a Bahama Mama. I’m starting into the rum-based drinks and moving away from the vodka-based drinks to broaden my horizons this week.
Here’s the recipe I used:
1 oz light rum (Bacardi Superior Rum)
1 oz passion fruit liqueur (Malibu Passion Fruit Liqueur)
1 oz coconut rum (Malibu Coconut Rum)
3 oz orange juice (Sunny D)
1 dash grenadine syrup (Rose’s Grenadine Syrup)
Pour all ingredients into a cocktail shaker, and shake well. Pour into a glass filled with crushed or cubed ice, and serve.
There are so many variations on this drink, so feel free to get creative with this cocktail. Can be served in a variety of glasses, but most normally a hurricane glass. Have some fun with the garnishing.
Personal tasting notes: I made a few changes from the original recipe I took from DrinksMixer.com. Instead of the banana liqueur, as the original called for, I substituted passion fruit liqueur, since that was what I had available to me. I also messed with the juice ratios, since the original recipe called for pineapple juice (this was an accident since I didn’t read the directions properly).
Since I took a few too many liberties with this drink, it ended up a little strange. I think that if I had used the banana liqueur it would have been perfect, but the passion fruit didn’t blend so well with the other flavors. I would maybe keep the pineapple out of it, but I’m a big fan of orange flavorings, so that’s a personal preference.
I feel with some tweaking (and following directions), this drink could be pretty delicious. Definitely has potential. :)
