Hey Mun. Cocktail Mun???
I know, there's no umbrella - but hey, we're on the non-touristy island here!
Let me introduce you to the Bahama Mama.
This magnificent rosey nectar is the local specialty - and let me tell you it is soooooooooooooooo yummmmm (and you all know I'm not a big alco!) - it's sort of a cross between a dacquiri and a pina colada I suppose.
I had my first one last night. I kept seeing people drinking this rosey glowing drink around the place and had to try it for myself. OH MY. It's like Goombay Punch (see Bahamas 4) for adults....mmmmmmm. The first thing you notic is the heavy coconut flavour, but it's not a cloudy drink so I knew it wasn't coconut milk...then it's fruity and sweet and oh so sexy going down. Sigh.
I am sad to report I only made my way a third of the way through - being the responsible driver I am, I handed the rest over to one of the yank lads who was kind enough to take it off my hands!
A quick chat with the waitress put me straight with what makes up this little glass of joy - Coconut Rum (there's the coconut flavour), Bacardi Gold (does anyone know what that is?), pineapple juice, orange juice, and grenadine. A wonderfully intoxicating blend that I'm hoping will see the light of day back in Sydney for Christmas drinks....sigh.
Oh and of course the by now compulsory envy shot. Another look at the Tropic of Cancer Beach from yesterday. Double sigh.
