Konk Cooler Recipe ?????

[wishiwasgolfing]

Hi all, what is the recipe for these drinks I hear so much about?
I'm thinking about firing up the blender tonight. Who says you have to be in the Carribean to enjoy them? I may even throw on my bathing suit (Ha ha)

 

[Jobro2]

I'd love to know this also...I sure did drink my share of them on our cruise!!!

I am guessing here, but I would use one can of frozen pina colada mix with a little orange juice and a little pineapple juice (or maybe mango?) and rum, and crushed ice blended together
if you try it let us know what you used and how it came out

I have an old Navigator here that says:

"Light & Dark Rum, Orange Juice, Passion Fruit & Coconut Cream"

No word on the proportions, but I would imagine you could have fun with experimentation until you come up with the right mix.

Do you want the Bahama Mama recipe? I got it in the Art of Entertaining program I attended. I think I still have it somewhere.

 

[wishiwasgolfing]

I never made it to the liquor store yesterday. Hopefully I will try to get there today. Hopefully I can find all the ingredients.
Liza, sure send the recipe for the Bahama Mama.

I was looking through "Carribean" magazine and found a recipe that looks pretty good from the Bahamas. The drink is called
"Tipsy Turtle". It's supposed to be very popular. Here are the ingredients:
1. you need a gallon size container
2. 1 quart orange juice
3. 1 quart pineapple juice
Then it says" fill the jug with equal parts Vodka,Coconut rum and Banana rum. Add a splash of Grenadine,shake,pour over ice and Crawl out of your Shell !!!".

Sounds good to me!
take care,

 

[perdidobay]

Oh yeah, that sounds good, but what's everybody else gonna drink?

 

[wishiwasgolfing]

perdidobay - No kidding! what a recipe. I guess it's so popular in the Bahamas that they make it by the gallon. No problem I would share it!

maybe I can help. For dark rum use Myer's Original dark. For the light Bacardi light. 1 and 1/2 oz. of each rum, for juices 2 oz of each and about 1 1/2 of cream of coconut Lopez the kind in the can, I have found it to works best. Mix in a blender with crushed ice.

Bahama Mama's
1 1/2 oz Myer's, 1 1/2 oz Capt Morgan Rum, 1 1/2 oz of OJ, 2 oz of Pineapple juice splash of grenadine. Blend with crushed ice and garnish with a orange and a cherry.

I hope you enjoy them.

I make it with light and dark rum (equal portions - 4 oz. each), pina colada mix (12 oz.) and orange/pinapple frozen concentrate (1/3 cup)....blended with ice (enough to fill blender).

Pretty close...reminds us of Castaway Cay!

When my DW and I were at the adult beach the gentlemen who served us our coolers said there were 3 different rums in it along with other ingredients. He didn't say what they were.

Interesting - we asked and were told 2 different types of Rum (light and dark). Either way, ours tastes pretty similar.

 

[My~Rumbly~Tumbly]

Mmmmmmmmmm... I'm going to have to give these recipes a try! Sound heavenly!

 

[benebire]

I am sitting here with a konk cooler! Thanks for posting the recipes

I used 3 oz. light bacardi rum
3 oz. myers dark rum
4 oz. orange juice
1/2 can cream of cocnut coco casa brand
1/2 can frozen welches passion fruit
21/2 cups ice
blended in blender

It is pretty darn close to the ones on the magic and wonder.
THanks again

 

[MarkRG]

This is the one I've been using all along.

If you can't find passion fruit concentrate on its own, an apple/passion/mango mix works just as well.

1/2 can cream of coconut
3 ounces light rum
3 ounces dark rum
1/2 of a 12oz can frozen passion fruit juice concentrate(Welches)
4 oz of orange juice
2-3 cups of ice
Add all together in a blender until very fine and smooth
