Party Panache, Rum Coffee Cake Cocktail

the Painted Apron

8 years ago

In honor of the annual Flora-Bama Mullet Toss, I created a new version of the ever popular Bushwacker frozen adult beverage that was being consumed in alarming quantities over the weekend along the Gulf Coast

“What started as an idea for locals to toss a dead mullet from Florida to Alabama more than three decades ago has grown into a cultural phenomenon held each April unlike anything on the Gulf Coast.” source

The 32nd Annual Interstate Mullet Toss and Gulf Coast’s Greatest Beach Party is held at the Flora-Bama Lounge on Perdido Key, Flordia, right on the Alabama Florida state line

Yes, mullets are actually tossed, over the state line, from Florida into Alabama, and people come from all over for the fishy fun 🎏

It was a picture perfect 80 degree weekend and we took our boat Gulf side to sneak a peek

We weren’t the only ones!

It was a boat parade all weekend

We skipped the crowds and went back to the porch and made our own Mullet Toss bushwackers

Every local restaurant has their own version, but the common denominator is that it’s a strong, cold and creamy adult beverage, similar to a milk shake

Many bushwackers are frozen, but I made ours with Coconut Rum, Cake Vodka, Bailey’s Irish Creme, coffee ice cream, and poured it over ice

Stir the ice cream into the spirits and then pour it over ice. You can make up a big batch and keep it in the fridge

Warning, this is dangerously good, so drink responsibly or you might just end up entering the bikini contest 👙
