Bahama Mama Recipe

Cocktail

1. 1

   Build and shake

   Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice. Add the light rum, gold rum, dark rum, pineapple juice, orange juice and fresh lime juice (if using). Secure the lid and shake vigorously for about 10–15 seconds until the outside of the shaker is cold and slightly frosted.

2. 2

   Prepare glass

   Fill a highball or hurricane glass with fresh ice (crushed ice may also be used for a more tropical presentation).

3. 3

   Strain and layer grenadine

   Strain the shaken mixture into the prepared glass over the ice. Slowly pour the grenadine down the inside of the glass so it sinks to the bottom and creates a gradient 'sunset' effect.

4. 4

   Garnish and serve

   Garnish with a pineapple wedge and a maraschino cherry on a cocktail pick. Serve with a straw and optionally a small stirrer so the drink can be mixed before drinking.
