Notes + Tips for Bahama Mama

  • Adjusting sweetness: If you prefer a sweeter cocktail, you can increase the amount of grenadine syrup. Conversely, for a less sweet version, reduce the amount or omit it altogether.
  • Non-alcoholic option: If you prefer a mocktail version, you can omit the rum and increase the amount of pineapple and orange juice. Adjust the sweetness and acidity to your liking.
  • Experiment with rums: Feel free to experiment with different types of rum to create unique variations. Dark rum adds richness, while white rum provides a lighter and more subtle flavor profile.
