Tips from Betty of Betty Cooks

Want to make your Bahama Mama cocktail even more exciting? Swap out the banana liqueur for mango for a unique twist, or freeze fruit juice into cubes for a slow-melting flavor enhancer. Betty always recommends using fresh juice when possible to keep your summer cocktail ideas vibrant and natural. And for those who prefer a bit less sweetness, adjust the grenadine to your taste.
