Hey does anybody have knowledge on what went into the now defunct Bahooka drinks? I know they weren't great but they were fun and having a party in the next couple weeks and along with the more traditional craft tiki drinks like Mai Tais, Zombies and Painkillers I was thinking about doing a punch of bowl of Bahooka wackiness. Looking for Honey Bowl/Head Shrinker. From what I heard it is apricot juice, pineapple juice, rums(? probably cheap lol) and the kicker Mountain Dew or Coke lol... Maybe I have been told wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I have one of their menus but it doesn't tell you much about what's in the drinks.

Hey thanks! Yeah I’ve seen that menu before. Also remember a bartender that worked there told me that they used Mountain Dew in most of the drinks. Which would certainly explain being wired when drinking them.

Aloha friends, i studied the Bahooka bowl recipe for a month before they closed. After much experimenting here is the closest i have found to the original bahooka bowl.

  • 1 part finest call passion fruit puree
  • 1 part water (the puree is very concentrated)
  • 1 part vodka
  • splash burgundy wine (Chico our long time waiter confirmed it to be a cheap burgundy wine for color)
  • serve in wood bowl with small cube ice
  • garnish with pineapple slices and cherries

This drink may be too strong but truthfully that is how I remember it. And don’t forget the long straws. Fresh passion fruit juice may make an even better version of this drink.
