If you like coconut, chocolate, coffee and rum, the Pensacola Bushwacker is definitely a cocktail you need to check out. This one makes use of coconut cream, arguably one of the most delicious things in the world.

This is basically a Bushwacker with ice cream, and it’s one seriously rich, thick, sweet drink. It’s absolutely divine on hot days or anytime you want a boozy, grown-up milkshake.

What makes it so special is that amazing flavor combination. The tropical rum and coconut mixed with chocolate and coffee is just so delicious.

Because it’s blended with vanilla ice cream, this drink can cool you down on a hot day. That makes it wonderful for the poolside or on the beach.

The thing about this drink is that it’s just so tasty you’d want to drink it even without the alcohol. The fact that it’s an actual cocktail is just a bonus.

It has a taste that is sweet and refreshing with an alcoholic kick. It’s great for enjoying after a long day at work because it takes some time to drink it. That slows you down and forces you to relax.

This cocktail is well known enough that it’s easy to order at most bars. Most bartenders are familiar with it, but you can always print off the recipe and bring it with you just in case.

Fun drinks like this deserve fancy parfait or hurricane glasses, beautiful paper straws, whipped cream and any kind of beautiful garnish. The recipe calls for chocolate syrup, which is awesome, but you can also use a chocolate cookie and turn it into a real dessert.

Or you can also garnish it with whipped cream and any sort of chocolate candy you like. Or toasted coconut flakes. The possibilities are kind of endless.

But you can also keep it simple and add no garnish at all. All you really need is a straw to drink it.

Even though you need to get the blender out to make this one, it’s easy to make. You just dump in a few things, pulse the blender a few times, and pour it into glasses.

These are also great if you’re serving milkshakes for the whole family, but you want the ones for the adults to be boozy. Just make chocolate for the kids and these for the adults, and you’re all set.
