Kikkycat Posted August 10, 2010 #29 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Just about any bar on the island can make a bushwacker. The ship's bartenders will make them also - but some of the bartenders make the drink with pineapple juice which takes away from the chocolaty wonderfulness. We have bushwacker parties here at home twice a year; everyone is hooked on them. It's true about the ship's bartenders making bushwhackers, but every one of them does it differently. I fell in love with the bushwhacker at Cane Garden Bay this past January and kept asking for one on the ship. They all came back differently - so if you don't want orange juice, say so. I have had a negative reaction to amaretto and one of them put amaretto in it, but he gladly re-made it for me without that. The one I had was a frozen blended drink of kahlua, dark rum, creme de cacao and cream of coconut. YUM!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nabby Posted August 12, 2010 #31 Share Posted August 12, 2010 The one I had was a frozen blended drink of kahlua, dark rum, creme de cacao and cream of coconut. YUM!! That's how I like it too. I also add a little milk to get the consistency just right. Bushwackers are like Painkillers; everyone makes them a little differently. (My favorite Painkiller is the one they make at Foxy's on Jost Van Dyke, they use vanilla rum. YUMM!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueJacketsFan1 Posted August 12, 2010 #32 Share Posted August 12, 2010 It been a couple of years but if I remember correctly it was $7-$8 when I got one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emmtee Posted September 12, 2010 #33 Share Posted September 12, 2010 Yes, you can get bushwackers at other places, but do THEY have the souvenir mug? http://paradisepointtramway.com/limin.html :D If you click on the "bushwacker" link, it gives you the recipe. I did the $28 limin' package. Going through the cruise line would have been less $, but I squeezed this little excursion in at the last minute.

Rare mitsugirly Posted September 19, 2010 #35 Share Posted September 19, 2010 I have to say that the bushwacker is the BEST! It was so good! They cost $8.50, but we had $2.00 off coupons, so we only paid the $6.50 rate for the drink. You have to try it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks1 The RCCL tour price was only $19. Regular price is $21. Only a couple of dollars - not a big deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
O2B@Cagain Posted September 22, 2010 #37 Share Posted September 22, 2010 The Bushwacker is a Virgin Islands creation. Yes, you can get it most everywhere in the VI. If anyone puts anything but liquor in in, it is a wannabe. There is no chocolate syrup, ice cream or other additives in the real deal. It should have a bunch of liquors, and those vary from bartender to bartender. Typically Kahlua, Bailey's, rum, vodka, creme de cacao, amaretto are the basis for one. Have fun tasting!;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what NCL charged as well and they offered a money back guarantee that if you didn't find the time to go there and didn't use the tickets, you could get your money back.

O2B@Cagain Posted September 23, 2010 #41 Share Posted September 23, 2010 mitsu: I hear what you are saying. I am saying that they are taking short cuts. Look for a bartender who uses all alcoholic ingredients. The whole concept of this drink is/was that alcohol is cheaper than the fillers. Many purveyors try to create a taste by changing ingredients. Paradise Point is not the standard for beverages in St Thomas. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just going by what I read for the ingredients on the site at Paradise and I've read several times on here that Paradise was one of the ones that started the Bushwacker. Whether that's true or not, I have no clue. Just what I read. So, I figured they were the "makers" of the drink. Either way, I LOVED it, whether it was the right way or not. It was YUMMY :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
