6. Goombay Smash (Bahamas)

Now a staple at all-inclusive hotels and chain restaurants, this Bahamian innovation is the creation of Miss Emily’s Blue Bee, a still-operational bar and restaurant on tiny Green Turtle Cay. Miss Emily’s original recipe remains a secret, leaving bartenders at other establishments to guesswork. Good dark rum, coconut rum, lime juice and pineapple juice are musts—maraschino cherry, coconut cream, spiced rum, Creme de Banana, apricot liqueur, orange juice and grenadine and egg whites are also used in some recipes.
