Bahama Mama

NOTE: See footnotes for the Reportedly “BAHAMA MAMA ORIGINAL RECIPE”((ORIGINAL RECIPE Ingredients?:
1/4 oz. Coffee Liqueur (Kahlua or Tia Maria)
1/2 oz. Dark Rum (Myers)
1/2 oz. Coconut Liqueur (Malibu)
1/4 oz. 151 Proof Rum (Cruzan)
1/2 oz. Fresh Lemon Juice
4 oz. Pineapple Juice (Dole, 100% not from concentrate))) The Bahama Mama is one of those FUN drinks with a dozen or more recipe versions today. Fighting over “right and wrong way to make it” just adds to the silliness and fun((From Editors David Wondrich (Mixographer), and Noah Rothbaum “The Oxford Companion to Spirits and Cocktails” -Oxford University Press (2022), p. 52: “The Bahama Mama, which, naturally, originated in the Bahamas, is an example of a drink that, though it gained popularity in the United States in the 1970s after the heyday of the tiki bar was over, nicely fits the definition of an exotic cocktail. Exotic cocktails, as defined by tiki godfather Donn Beach, are, at their heart, riffs on the traditional Planter’s Punch: one of sour, two of sweet, three of strong, four of weak, and often “a bit of spice to make it nice.” The British Colonial Hotel in Nassau was serving a Bahama Mama in 1960, as was the Beverly Hills Trader Vic’s in 1961 (served in its own wooden mug), but nei-ther formula was recorded, and their relation to each other and to subsequent iterations of the drink is not known.)).
