What’s a Bushwacker?

A Bushwacker is a frozen, milkshake-style cocktail made with coffee liqueur, coconut, chocolate and rum. It reportedly originated in 1975 at a pub in the U.S. Virgin Islands before making its way to the mainland through a Pensacola beach bar. It’s been a Gulf Coast staple since.

Along Alabama’s beaches, restaurants, bakeries and coffee shops, the beloved drink is morphed into desserts, lattes and coffee beans. Every spot featured on this card has its own concoction.
