While in St. Thomas, we had the BEST frozen drinks called BUSHWACKERS ! Does anyone know the original RECIPE?
I've seen them on web search with ice cream, and milk and all sorts of stuff but that just was NOT in what I am talking about! This was a frozen cocktail with alot of COCONUT RUM, IRISH CREAM, KAHLUA, AMARETTO, VODKA maybe, topped with whipped cream sprinkled with nutmeg...and we don't know the amounts of any of it. Does anyone?
Go to www.paradisepointtramway.com, scroll down to Home of the Bailey's Bushwacker, and click on Bailey's. Then scroll down to the end of that page, and on the right side is their recipe.
While you're there you can click on their Webcam and see the harbor and any ships that happen to be docked that day.
And I still say that a TRUE Bushwacker has NO fillers- Bailey's, Amaretto, Kahlua, Vodka, Rum, sometimes Frangelico or Grand Marnier. Proportions to suit the drinker, but Bailey's is the base.
I agree with East Ender. My understanding from years ago was that a virgin Bushwhacker was crushed ice. No Coco Lopez, No Hershey's. OK, maybe crushed ice with nutmeg.

ack. Gimme rum in seltzer with a wedge of lime - lots of rum, splash of seltzer 🙂
******WARNING!!!*********
A few days ago I was missing the islands terribly and with summer finally here I thought it would be a good idea to mix up a batch of my favorite drink, the bushwacker!!! After about 3-4 cups the good time ended as I was hugging the toilet bowl!!! I forgot just how strong they are! Well duh, it has at least 5 different types of alcohol! While in the islands, my husband & I can drink them all day without really even catching a buzz. We think it has alot to do with the heat, sweating and how active we are while we're there. But back home they really sneak up on you!
So, word of caution everyone... they are basically alcohol and ice, becareful how much of them you drink unless want to end up hugging the toilet bowl like i did!!!
Here are a few versions of the Bushewacker Recipe
We enjoyed the ones from St. Thomas & Coki Beach the best

Just got back from St. John, went there for my son's wedding at Trunk Bay. Had a Bushwacker at the Westin, terrible. Had another one from Joe's Rum Hut, FANTASTIC! Can't wait to go back.
I was recently in St. Thomas visiting my Dad & I was coaxed into trying the BushWacker. I'm so glad I decided to give it a try. That was the only drink I ordered for the rest of our stay... So friggin good!!! The Caribbean Bushwacker recipe is as follows:
1 Shot Malibu Rum
1 Shot Vodka
1 Shot Kahlua
1 Shot Baileys
1 Shot Amaretto
2 to 3 Tbsp. Hersheys Chocolate Syrup
Blend With Ice
Pour and Top with Nutmeg & 1 or 2 Maraschino Cherry
My friend and I just last night had some Bushwackers! We were "perfecting" our recipe to make them for this week's "porch party" (a few of us girlfriends sit on the porch and talk while sipping a concoction) We had all the ingredients of the above recipe, but also Cream of Coconut and a splash of Grand Marnier. It was awesome - but 2 of them kicked my butt. I think I'll add a couple scoops of ice cream to the blender - to make it creamier and dilute it just a little haha! By far one of the best drinks - it doesn't taste anything like alcohol, but when you stand up you're in trouble!
Heah, Baby! That's what the Bushwacker is all about! You do have to be careful. I mix 1/4 cup of Amaretto, Vodka, Coconut Rum, Bailey's Irish Creme and Kahlua with 2 cups of ice and it's perfect. If I mix a second blenderp-full... Look-out!
Little Fishy,
What altitude do you reside at? Makes a difference. But yes, they are potent.
We were just at the Paradise Point Tramway and experienced our 1st Bushwacker. You get halfway through the glass and have a little difficulty walking. You have no idea what hits you. It's sooooo smooth. You reaaly don't realize that it only really contains alcohol. Mix up a glass and enjoy.
What a bunch of light weights: )
Y'all just need more practice!: )
Doug
6 weeks and counting until my next remote practice session! I'll have a couple for you!
I'm detoxing my liver until the trip so that I can try all these great drinks.
I'll see how many it takes before you can't get off your bar stool. Don't you worry!
I have been to Woody's website and can't find their drink recipes. Can you post the link. Thanks
It's hidden...
WE just got back from the virgin islands and our tour driver told us the ingredients...
amaretto
Kahlua
rum
vodka
baileys
Kahlua
creme de cocoa
frangelico
topped with cinnamon.
I have not made it yet, but was going to real soon.
Hope this helps!
When I visited Paradise Point, the Bushwackers were pre-made, served from a machine. I have always disliked any drink made in a machine, so I asked the bartender to make me a fresh one, it was terrible! Tried another one at Mafolie, that one was great!
back in 1994 the recipe was as follows 151 cruzan dark,151cruzanlight, amaretto,kaluha,baileys,coco lopez, hence the name "bushwacker" and the painkiller was 151 light and dark, coco lopez, orange and pineapple juices with a dash of nutmeg on top after it was shaken.
