Bahama Mama

"This is a great summer drink from Dale Degroff (The Essential Cocktail) that will go by the pitcher! This recipe is by the glass, though, for sipping on the patio. If you don't have all four rums, you can improvise by doubling up (I would recommend making sure to use dark rum and coconut rum, however). Angostura bitters really make the drink, but could be left out if you don't have them (usually found in the tropical drink section at a supermarket or liquor store)."

  1. Yum - great drink! I used spiced rum for the golden rum, otherwise made as directed. Fruity and tropical and packs a nice punch - thanks for sharing the recipe!
     
  2. This drink is worth more than 5 stars. I made it for me and my boyfriend tasted it and wanted one for him. I omitted the grenadine. Thanks Ames :)
