Today’s cocktail is a tropical favorite. This Bahama Mama cocktail is made with two different rums, pineapple, and orange juices. This version is served on the rocks, and has a really pretty ombre color, when paired with fresh fruit garnishes, that makes such a fun cocktail to drink.

Bahama Mama Ingredients

Here’s everything you’ll need to make a Bahama Mama-

• 1 cup ice
• ½ oz. coconut rum
• ½ oz. dark rum
• 1 oz. orange juice
• 1 oz. pineapple juice
• Splash of grenadine syrup
• Fresh pineapple wedges, maraschino cherries, and orange slices for garnish

Can I use different rums?

You can always use any rum you have on hand. We love Malibu coconut rum and either a light or dark rum, our favorite is Cruzan. However, any rum you have on hand will do just fine.

What Juice Alternatives are there?

You can absolutely customize this with any juice you love. We enjoy Simply orange juice for the best flavor, and Dole pineapple juice that comes in little cans, perfect for cocktail making. If you prefer another brand, or another tropical fruit juice, you can absolutely use that and make your own custom cocktail.

How to make a Bahama Mama Cocktail

1. Fill your glass with ice!

This is such a delicious cocktail. We love tropical cocktails in the Summer so we can live vicariously. If you like this drink, you might also like our Frozen Pineapple Margarita.
