Bushwacker (cocktail)

The Bushwacker is a popular cocktail that originated in the Caribbean. It is a sweet, creamy drink that is often compared to a chocolate milkshake due to its rich flavor and smooth texture. The Bushwacker is typically served in a tall glass and is enjoyed as a refreshing beverage on hot summer days.

History

The Bushwacker was first created in the 1970s in the Virgin Islands. The original recipe was developed by a bartender named Angie Conigliaro at the famous Ship's Store/Sapphire Pub in Sapphire Village, St. Thomas. The cocktail quickly gained popularity and spread to other parts of the Caribbean and the United States, particularly in beach and coastal areas.

Ingredients and Preparation

The Bushwacker is a blended drink that includes a combination of rum, Kahlúa, Baileys Irish Cream, dark crème de cacao, coconut cream, and milk or cream. Some variations of the recipe may also include vodka or amaretto. The ingredients are combined in a blender with ice and blended until smooth. The drink is then poured into a glass and often garnished with nutmeg or a cherry.

Variations

There are many variations of the Bushwacker cocktail, with different regions adding their own twist to the recipe. For example, in Pensacola, Florida, the Bushwacker is a staple drink and is often made with a shot of 151 proof rum on top. In Alabama, the drink is commonly served with a shot of bourbon.

In Popular Culture

The Bushwacker has been featured in various forms of media, including books, films, and television shows. It is often associated with beach culture and is a popular choice in tropical-themed bars and restaurants.
