History
For those who enjoy Piña Coladas but feel awkward ordering one, this cocktail is a suitable alternative.
Bahia is a state in Brazil. The name also refers to a pre-Prohibition drink made with dry vermouth, sherry, absinthe, and bitters. This more recent Piña Colada-style version has wider market appeal.
