Ingredients for the 7 Brew Bahama Mama Recipe
Here is everything you need for this 7 Brew Bahama Mama recipe. It makes one 16-ounce drink, which is close to a 7 Brew Small.

Change the amounts after your first try to match your taste.
| Ingredient | Amount | Notes |

| Sparkling water | 1 cup (8 oz) | Club soda works too |
| Cherry syrup | 1/2 oz (1 tbsp) | Bright and sweet |
| Coconut syrup | 1/2 oz (1 tbsp) | Smooth and tropical |

Method
How to Make a 7 Brew Bahama Mama at Home
A 7 Fizz is an Italian-style soda, so it only takes a few steps. The syrups go in first, then the ice, then very cold sparkling water. Stir gently so the bubbles stay. Add a splash of cream at the end if you like it creamy. It takes about five minutes.
1. Add the syrups
Pour the cherry syrup and coconut syrup into a tall 16 oz cup.
2. Fill with ice
Add about 1 1/2 cups of crushed ice.
3. Add sparkling water
Pour in cold sparkling water slowly.
4. Stir and top
Stir gently, then add 2 tbsp of cream if you want it creamy.
Use cold sparkling water and stir gently. Add the cream last for a pretty pink swirl. If it is too sweet, use more sparkling water. For a frozen version, blend with two cups of ice. Serve with a fun straw for kids.

Common Mistakes When Making a Bahama Mama
- Too much syrup: start small, because you can always add more.
- Warm ingredients: they melt the ice and water the drink down.
- Skipping the stir: syrup sinks, so the last sips taste too sweet.
- Wrong cup size: a 16 oz cup keeps the flavor balance right.
