Bahama Mama Cocktail Origins

This Bahama mama recipe is the perfect topical drink to have you feeling the island breeze. It’s a tasty treat with dark and light rum, coconut and pineapple juices, and a splash of coffee liqueur for the original taste. But, what’s the original flavor after all? Coffee liqueur is the not-so-secret ingredient that sets this cocktail apart and seems to have gotten lost in many modern recipes. Nowadays more and more fruity and lighter versions are served in bars, so it’s difficult to know exactly what’s the original one.

Bahamian bartender Oswald “Slade” Greenslade asserts he invented the cocktail while working at the Nassau Beach Hotel, according to his self-published book One More Cocktail, and named it after a local Calypso singer. According to its creator, the classic recipe is a well-balanced and delicious blend based on the summerish combination of pineapple, coconut flavoring, and coffee.

Ingredient List

Well, here is the ingredient list for this Bahama Mama drink recipe. As we try to achieve an authentic result of the classic recipe, I strongly advise you to closely follow the ingredient list below. The secret to achieving authentic Bahamian flavor stays in the products you use when preparing the cocktail. So, if you respect the list, you should rock this recipe in no time!

Here’s what you need:

• 1-ounce dark rum (it is aged longer and has a richer flavor);
• 1/2 ounce light rum (for a richer flavor, use only dark rum);
• 1/2 ounce coffee liqueur (its bitterness adds depth, earthiness, and roasted notes);
• 1/4 creme de coconut (it puts a flavorful bow on top of the entire drink);
• 3/4 ounce lemon juice (use freshly squeezed lime juice for the best results);
• 4 ounces pineapple juice (it brings a rich sweetness and a little acidity to the cocktail).

*I strongly advise you to closely follow the ingredient list and the steps below in order to achieve the desired cocktail. However, one ingredient you can substitute is the coffee liqueur; feel free to swap in ¼ ounce of espresso with a bit of sugar, to taste.
