Classic Bushwacker Cocktail
This Classic Bushwacker cocktail is the best of both worlds! This boozy beverage is where an "adult" milkshake meets a creamy rum and coffee-flavored cocktail.
Equipment
- High-powered Blender
- Hurricane or Iced Coffee glass approximately 16 oz
Ingredients
- 3 ounces dark or white rum or coconut flavored rum (if you like coconut) - I used white rum
- 2 ounces Kahlua (Coffee Liqueur)
- 2 ounces Crème de Cacao or Chocolate Cream Liqueur like Mozart
- 2 ounces Coco Lopez Cream of Coconut 1 ounce if you want less coconut flavor
- 2 ounces Bushwacker Coconut Rum Cream
- 1/2 cup Homestyle Vanilla Ice Cream
- 4 cups Ice Add more for desired consistency
- Coconut shavings to rim your glass - totally optional
- Chocolate Sauce to drizzle inside of glass and garnish
- Whipped Topping for garnish optional
- a few sprinkles of nutmeg
- Maraschino cherry for garnish
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients in a high-powered blender (not including ice).
- Add ice and blend on high for 20-25 seconds or until it is the consistency you would like. I prefer my Bushwacker a milkshake consistency.
- Pour cocktail blend into a tall glass (16 oz) drizzled with chocolate sauce. Use a Hurricane glass if you have one.
- Garnish with shaved chocolate, sprinkles of nutmeg, and a maraschino cherry, two or three! The cherries are optional.
- Serve and enjoy!
Notes
-
- You can use white, dark, or coconut-flavored rum. I like using Parrot Bay Coconut Rum (90% Proof) as well.
-
- Kahlua Coffee liqueur is what I used in my cocktail. Sometimes I like to add more because I love the coffee flavor!
-
- If you can't find Crème de Cacao, most Spirit stores sell Chocolate (Cream) Liqueur.
-
- Coco Lopez Cream of Coconut is my preference. Also, make sure you get a Cream of Coconut and not Coconut Milk. You can also rim your glass using cream of coconut. This is totally optional!
-
- Bushwacker Coconut Rum Cream is a Caribbean rum blended with cream. It has notes of coffee, chocolate, and naturally flavored coconut.
-
- I've made my Bushwacker with and without ice cream. I prefer my cocktail with ice cream for sure. If you use ice and the ingredients only, it will still be delicious!
-
- Everyone has their favorite chocolate sauce. Use whichever brand you prefer. Torani, Godiva, and Hershey's are my recommendations.
-
- A few sprinkles of nutmeg go a long way!
-
- If you don't use ice cream you will need to increase the amount of ice used.
