Malibu Sunset
Malibu Sunset: a fun, fruity, easy Malibu drink recipe! Because there’s really no wrong way to do pineapple, orange juice, coconut rum, grenadine, and cherries. If you’ve never had this fruity alcoholic drink, you should change that.
A Malibu Drink Tastes Like an Island Getaway
Living in San Diego, I’m normally just a couple hours from Malibu. But right now, I’m a world apart in Aruba. And Malibu never tasted so good.
If you’ve never had this fruity Malibu drink, you really should change that. Someone will say they don’t like coconut, but I don’t think it tastes ridiculously coconutty. Coconut Malibu tastes what a tropical vacation should taste like.
Technically this fruity drink has a splash of cranberry, but I didn’t have any and wasn’t going to buy any for a splash. Just use more grenadine. Scratch that. More Malibu.
Home away from Home
This is Palm Beach, Aruba. My most favorite place on earth. This little slice of beach is where I go to mentally when the going gets tough in life. It’s my happy place, and just thinking about it, gets me through hard times. It’s where I’m the most calm and relaxed, ever. I love it here.
Cool Malibu Rum Drinks for Hot Summer Days
Holy moly these things go down way too easily in the heat and humidity. This Malibu drink is fruity and sweet without being over-the-top like some fruity alcoholic drinks can be, and it’s so refreshing. I love pineapple juice and it’s a perfect pairing with coconut rum.
Nothing calms me down and puts a smile on my face like being on Palm Beach, Aruba with one of these yummy fruity drinks. Cheers!
