When I think of Malibu Rum, I think of summertime. Sure, it can be enjoyed year-round, if there's one way to enhance your summer by the pool or at the beach, it's with a Malibu cocktail!
Let's make some drinks that will impress everyone around you. It's cocktail time!
Malibu Coconut Rum
Sometimes, all you need is some Malibu Coconut Rum. It's the perfect base if you're craving a tropical cocktail.
Malibu Rum, previously known as Coco Rico, launched in 1980 and quickly gained popularity. It was the new spunky rum on the market, and people loved the flavor.
Today, it's the best-selling coconut rum on the market!
Malibu Flavored Rum
Before we get into the cocktails, let's talk about the flavors. That's right, Malibu has tropical flavor options.
The original Malibu Coconut Rum worked out so well that the Malibu brand decided to give us more.
Malibu offers many tropical flavors, including watermelon, peach, banana, mango, pineapple, and more.
And if you're looking for something bolder, check out Malibu Black Caribbean Rum. It's the perfect coconut dark rum if you're looking for something with a slight subtle sweetness and bold flavor. It's smooth and delicious.

Malibu Cocktails
Looking for a signature refreshing cocktail recipe to get you through the summer? You came to the right place. We have all the recipes you'll need for your summer. And today is all about drinks with Malibu Rum.
Let's dive right in.
Malibu Bay Breeze
We're starting with a Malibu Bay Breeze. It's a beautiful cocktail that's bright, beautiful, and bursting with fresh flavors. Here's what you'll need for this refresher:
- Malibu Original Rum
- Cranberry juice
- Pineapple juice
- Pineapple wedge
Instructions
This one is easy! Add a handful of ice to a cocktail glass. Add equal parts of Malibu Original Rum, followed by pineapple juice. Then, add cranberry juice. Adding the juice in this order will help give your cocktail that cool gradient effect you want.
Typically, I would say stir together, but not today. If you're serving this drink to a guest, don't stir it just yet. Let them stir for themselves after seeing the pretty presentation.
Garnish your drink with a pineapple wedge. Serve and enjoy!
Piña Colada
The Piña Colada is probably the most popular Malibu cocktail to ever exist. I mean, Malibu was made to make Piña Coladas. Here's what you'll need:
- 2 part Malibu Original Rum
- 3 parts pineapple juice
- 1 part cream of coconut
- A handful of pineapple chunks
- Pineapple wedge
- Maraschino cherry
Instructions
We're going to need a blender for this one, but it will be well worth it when you've enjoyed a nice, cold-blended Piña Colada. In your blender, add the Malibu, pineapple juice, cream of coconut, pineapple chunks, and fresh ice. Blend until your mixture is nice and smooth.
Strain into a fun glass, then garnish with a pineapple wedge and maraschino cherry. If you have a cocktail umbrella, this would be the perfect time to throw it on top, too!
Malibu Sunset
Whether you call it a Malibu Sunset or a Malibu Sunrise, it makes no difference. They're both the same cocktail. Here's what you'll need to make it:
- 2 parts Malibu Original Rum
- 1 part orange juice
- 3 parts pineapple juice
- 1 part grenadine
- Lime wedge
- Maraschino cherry
Instructions
To get the cool effect you want, slowly add each layer to keep the colors separated. If you don't, you won't have that sunset or sunrise vibe.
Get a glass filled with fresh ice and start layering. First, add your orange juice, pineapple juice, and Malibu Rum. Give it a nice little stir. Then, add your grenadine. You can pour it right down the middle and it will sink right to the bottom.
Garnish with a lime wedge and maraschino cherry. Enjoy!
Blue Hawaiian
Let's make a Blue Hawaiian. If you want something bright, blue, and bursting with flavor, the Blue Hawaiian is the perfect Malibu drink for you. It's fun and festive! Here's what you'll need:
- 1 part Malibu Original Rum
- 1 part Blue Curaçao
- 2 parts pineapple juice
- Pineapple wedges
Instructions
In a cocktail shaker, add your Malibu Original Rum, Blue Curaçao, and a handful of ice. Shake well.
Strain into a glass with fresh ice. Top with pineapple juice. Give it a rough stir to give your cocktail a cool, swirly effect.
Garnish with a couple of pineapple wedges! Enjoy!
Malibu Mojito
Looking for a cocktail that's minty with tangy lime goodness? Then this cocktail is for you. A coconut mojito makes the ultimate tropical drink! Here's what you'll need:
- 2 parts Malibu Original Rum
- Soda water
- A splash of lime juice
- 5 sprigs of mint

Instructions
In your cocktail glass, muddle mint leaves and lime juice. Once you're done muddling, add Malibu Rum. Then top with soda water.

- 1 part orange juice
- 1 part cranberry juice
- 1 part pineapple juice
- Pink sugar (optional)
Instructions
(Before you start, you might notice that most Malibu Barbie cocktails online have a pink sugar rim. If that sounds too complicated, garnish with a maraschino cherry.)
In a cocktail shaker, add your Malibu Rum, orange juice, cranberry juice, pineapple juice, and a handful of ice. Shake well. Then, strain into a cocktail glass with fresh ice. Serve and enjoy!
Malibu Daiquiri
Let's make a Daiquiri. It's refreshing and easier to make than you might think. You'll need:
