Goombay Smash

17 December 2011
Bill
Bill, Joe (s/v Onward) and Tom (s/v Polar Pacer) enjoy a Goombay Smash

The original Goombay Smash recipe is a secret, passed down from mother to daughter at Miss Emily's Blue Bee bar in New Plymouth (Green Turtle Cay), Bahamas


At the Blue Bee, they serve this from plastic 1-gallon containers (similar to milk jugs). The recipe below, which is not the original but is smooth and strong and pretty authentic, makes one quart. Multiply the recipe by 4 to make a gallon for a party.

16 oz pineapple-orange juice
6 oz rum
8 oz Malibu coconut rum
2 oz apricot brandy

Shake well, serve over lots of ice.
