Goombay Smash, Bahamas

Invented at Miss Emily’s Blue Bee Bar on Green Turtle Cay in the Abacos, the Goombay Smash is traditionally made with dark rum, coconut rum, apricot brandy, and pineapple juice, although bars sometimes forgo the brandy and add orange juice.

The Original Goombay Smash

  • 2 oz dark rum
  • 1 oz coconut rum
  • 1/2 oz apricot brandy
  • 3 oz pineapple juice
  • 1 oz orange juice

Shake all ingredients, pour over ice, garnish with a cherry and a pineapple slice.
