Bushwacker History
The world famous drink was created 50 years ago and that's something to celebrate! While it may have originated in St. Thomas, it gained immense notoriety at Flora-Bama and has been responsible for endless lifelong memories that span decades.
The Bushwacker first appeared on the Gulf Coast in the early 1970's. Some locals had brought back the drink recipe and Pat McClellan (a Flora-Bama owner) soon made the famous Flora-Bama version.
There have been numerous recipes copied over the last 50 years, but the Flora-Bama is still known at the "Home of the Bushwacker" in the states.
