These are the Best Drinks With Malibu Rum to make this summer! If you love Malibu Coconut Rum and are looking for the tastiest cocktails to make with it, you are sure to find something you love on this list.
What is Malibu?
Malibu is a sweet, coconut flavored rum that is often used to make a variety of popular, tropical cocktails.
On its own, Malibu is overly sweet, but when it is used with mixers, or in fruity drinks, it is delicious.
Tips For Making The Best Malibu Drinks
- Serve them in tropical cocktail glasses. Hurricane cocktail glasses are always a great option to serve Malibu cocktails in as they give off a tropical, beachy vibe. You could also try more creative glasses, such as these tiki cocktail glasses or these pineapple shaped cocktail glasses.
- Make it a frozen cocktail. Many of these recipes below can be turned into a frozen version. Just blend them with ice, frozen bananas, frozen mangos or frozen pineapples until you get a slushy consistency.
- Adjust the sweetness. Malibu adds a lot of sweetness to drinks and while you may love coconut flavor, if you don’t like overly sweet drinks, you may need to adjust the amount of Malibu. If needed, replace some of the Malibu in each of these recipes with regular, white rum for a less sweet drink.
