Anatomy Of A Cocktail: Reconstructing The Bahama Mama

0The Bahama Mama is a cocktail that I have really wanted to tackle for a long while, it has been around since (probably) the 1930's and is a staple at resorts in Nassau. That's actually where I first had this cocktail. At the Cove resort in Nassau while visiting with my wife. And while I've always looked at the original with a critical eye, I've always felt that this one was a good candidate for reconstruction. And I'm happy to report, so did other bartenders. So even though part of the country is in a snowstorm, I hope this video brings you guys a little taste of paradise! Enjoy the video and see you in the comments!

Note On Today's Video:
At 2:59 the overproof rum is marked as 2oz (60ml) but should read .25ox (7.5ml) Marius strikes again!
