Indulge in the creamy, tropical decadence of the Bushwhacker, a frosty cocktail-dessert hybrid that’s perfect for summer soirées or treating yourself to a sweet escape. This crowd-pleasing drink blends the richness of dark rum and coffee liqueur with the tropical allure of coconut cream and a splash of milk, all elevated by velvety vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of chocolate syrup. Served thick and milkshake-like, the Bushwhacker is finished with a luxurious swirl of whipped cream, a sprinkle of chocolate shavings or nutmeg, and a classic maraschino cherry for a show-stopping presentation. Quick to prepare in just 5 minutes, this boozy favorite balances indulgence with a refreshing twist, making it the ultimate frozen cocktail for adults.
Gather all ingredients and prepare a blender.
In the blender, combine dark rum, coffee liqueur, coconut cream, milk, chocolate syrup, vanilla ice cream, and ice.
Blend on high speed until smooth and creamy. The mixture should have a thick, milkshake-like consistency.
Pour the blended Bushwhacker into two chilled glasses.
Top each glass with whipped cream, chocolate shavings (or a sprinkle of grated nutmeg), and a maraschino cherry, if desired.
Serve immediately with a straw or spoon, and enjoy responsibly!
