Bahama Mama

A refreshing, fruity slush cocktail made with pineapple and orange juice, two types of rum, and grenadine—Bahama Mama is a tropical delight that’s simple to make and perfect for warm-weather sipping.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup crushed ice
  • 1 fluid ounce orange juice
  • 1 fluid ounce pineapple juice
  • ½ fluid ounce rum
  • ½ fluid ounce coconut-flavored rum
  • ½ fluid ounce grenadine syrup

Instructions
 

  • Measure out all your liquids: orange juice, pineapple juice, regular rum, coconut-flavored rum, and grenadine. Use fresh juice if possible for a brighter flavor, but bottled works fine in a pinch.
  • In your blender, combine the crushed ice with all the measured liquids. No need to layer—just toss it all in.
  • Blend on high until the consistency becomes smooth and icy, like a frozen cocktail or slushie. Takes about 20–30 seconds. If the mix looks too thin, add a little more crushed ice. Too thick? A splash more juice will fix it.
  • Pour the Bahama Mama into your glass of choice. For a festive touch, garnish with a pineapple wedge, maraschino cherry, or even a tiny umbrella.
