Glass Guide- Collins Glass

The Bahama Mama is a great tropical cocktail that features two potent rums, dark and 151 proof. The coffee and coconut liqueurs along with pineapple juice add that extra tropical touch. A perfect drink for summer that is very popular (one you should know) and a certain crowd pleaser. If you travel to the islands you'll often find this served in a coconut, which is a nice touch.

Ingredients:

  • 1/4 oz coffee liqueur
  • 1/2 oz dark rum
  • 1/2 oz coconut liqueur
  • 1/4 oz 151 proof (high proof) rum
  • juice of 1/2 lemon
  • 4 oz pineapple juice
  • strawberry or cherry for garnish

Preparation:

  1. Pour all the ingredients into a cocktail shaker filled with ice.
  2. Shake well.
  3. Pour into a collins glass with cracked ice.
  4. Garnish with a strawberry or cherry.
