Show me a Don Beach cocktail that uses rum.
Cocktail Colin says:
When it comes to tiki cocktails originating from the legendary Don the Beachcomber, the "Bahama Mama" stands out as a delightful pick. This concoction, one of the best tiki cocktails you can mix up, is renowned for its fruity and tropical essence, making it an ideal choice for a summer gathering.
The Bahama Mama features a lush blend of coconut rum, lime juice, pineapple juice, orange juice, dark rum, white rum, grenadine, and banana liqueur, all served in a hurricane glass. With a modest alcohol content of 15.22% and a total volume of 230ml, this cocktail is both refreshing and potent enough to transport you to a faraway tropical beach with just one taste. Its high rating of 4.9/5 is a testament to its popularity and exceptional flavor profile.
This cocktail's background and history add to its charm, as it comes from a culture rooted in the tropical, relaxed vibes that Don Beach popularized. Whether you're reminiscing about the early days of tiki bars or simply looking for a fantastic rum-based cocktail to enjoy, the Bahama Mama is a stellar choice.
