Top 5 Malibu Cocktails to Try This Summer

Malibu cocktails in essence have a few qualities - they are fruity, sweet, tropical and colourful and by virtue of all of this, they are a lot of fun. Vibrant and refreshing, they are characteristically loved and associated with sunshine and cheer.

And they are made with Malibu Rum, hence the name. Most Malibu cocktails are made with 2-3 ingredients so they are easy to whip up and even easier on the tongue. Out of the many fantastic Malibu cocktails that can be enjoyed, here is a list of the top 5 that are a must-try:

Malibu Bay Breeze

This three-ingredient drink can be made in less than three minutes. It mixes pineapple juice, cranberry juice and of course, the inevitable Malibu Rum and its taste is sweeter on the more dominant side. All you need to do is mix equal parts of all three ingredients and top it up with ice. The Red colour is stunning and the Malibu Bay Breeze is the perfect drink for an afternoon jaunt, be it with family or friends.

Pina Colada

Now, who has not heard of the iconic and classic Pina Colada? One may not have tasted it yet, which can also change super soon, but the name of this cocktail is rather familiar. One of the most popular Malibu cocktails, the Pina Colada is all things refreshing and sweet. A cool favourite and a best-seller at all beach bars, Pina Colada brings together Malibu rum, coconut cream and pineapple juice. Garnished with a pineapple wedge, this drink is the epitome of light, breezy beach freshness and the perfect afternoon sipper.

Malibu Strawberry Spritz

Strawberries and rum are a winning combination. They say, no summer party of the tropical kind is complete without a dash of Spritz. The original spritz is made with Malibu rum, sparkling wine and soda water. The Strawberry spritz uses the new Malibu strawberry flavour rum. Either way, both the versions are epic and super yummy. Easy to put together, even easier to consume.

Malibu Mojito

One of the most refreshing summer cocktails, the Mojito is a must have. A well-made Mojito is one of the best cocktails and there is no debate about that. This quintessential summer favourite also has a Malibu version and it is fantastic. Created using Malibu rum, soda, lime and of course mint leaves, the Mojito has and will always be a crowd puller. It cannot be beaten on flavour or freshness and that is a fact.

Malibu Froze

Frozen cocktail with Malibu anyone? A summer afternoon favourite the Malibu froze combines Malibu rum, sparkling rose wine and lemon juice with simple syrup. Extremely easy to put together in a blender, this slushy mix is the key to cooling down on hot summer afternoons. The pink that comes from the sparkling rose wine gives it a delicate tint and the ice adds texture. A must have, the Malibu froze is one of the most popular summer cocktails.

The list of Malibu cocktails is long. Given the versatility of the spirit, there is a lot one can do with it. A good plan is to start with the favourite and work one’s way through the rest.
