BUSHWACKER

Every island in the Caribbean has its own "special" drink, and here in St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands, it is the "Bushwacker." Every bartender on island knows how to make them, and there are some variations, but this is the standard recipe. Tastes just like a chocolate milkshake...but be careful! It ain't no milkshake! Ever heard of a "virgin" drink? A "virgin" Bushwacker is a glass of ICE!! Haha! Multiply ingredients by the number of drinks you want. This recipe will make one drink.

1/2 ounce Kahlua (or a coffee flavored off-brand name)
1/2 ounce amaretto liqueur (any brand)
1/2 ounce chococo chocolate-flavored liqueur
1/2 ounce Frangelico (I recommend it) (optional)

3 dashes of grated nutmeg
1 tablespoon whipped cream
1 maraschino cherry

Steps:

  • Put everything, except nutmeg, whipped cream and cherries in a blender and use enough ice that when blended will be the consistency of a milkshake.

  • But use caution!
  • They taste like there is no alcohol in them and most people have a tendency to get"bushwacked!"
  • Haha!

BUSHWACKER

The Bushwacker was first created in 1975 at a pub in St. Thomas (Virgin Islands). It tastes like a creamy, chocolate version of the classic Piña Colada. There's quite a lot going on in the Bushwacker, with its array of different liquors that contribute a specific element to the drink. But the coconut adds a tropical colada...
