Bursting with sunny citrus flavours and layered in gorgeous sunset hues, it’s the perfect way to toast the most important woman in your life.

Bahama Mama Cocktail Recipe

Ingredients:

30ml golden rum

30ml coconut rum

50ml orange juice

100ml pineapple juice

½ lime, juiced

Ice cubes

Splash of grenadine

Pineapple wedge and maraschino cherry, to garnish

Method:

Divide the golden rum, coconut rum, orange juice, pineapple juice, and lime juice between four hurricane glasses.

Fill each glass with plenty of ice.

Stir gently, then drizzle a splash of grenadine into each glass to create a beautiful ombre effect.

Garnish with a pineapple wedge and a maraschino cherry.

Serve immediately — ideally somewhere with a view of the water (or at least dreams of it).

Whether you’re celebrating on the mainland or island hopping for the weekend, this tropical tipple is sure to put a smile on Mum’s face.
Pair it with a relaxed afternoon by the pool, a home-cooked brunch, or simply good conversation under the sun — Whitsundays style.
