Malibu Coconut Liqueur (75cl , 21%)

One of the world’s most iconic liqueurs, Malibu sees a Caribbean white rum base blended with natural Bajan coconut extract. The creamy spirit is a great start for many a tropical cocktail, particularly a Piña Colada or a Daiquiri.

• Flavor Profile: Malibu offers a prominent aroma and taste of fresh coconut, with notes of vanilla and a creamy, sweet finish. Its sweetness makes it approachable and easy to mix for those who prefer less intense spirits.
• Alcohol Content: The original Malibu is a lower-proof spirit, typically 21% alcohol by volume (ABV), which technically classifies it as a liqueur rather than a traditional high-proof rum. Other variations, like Malibu Black, have a higher ABV of 35%.
• Origin and Production: The white rum base is produced from sugarcane molasses at a distillery in Barbados and then blended with flavoring, sugar, and water. The coconuts for the flavoring are partly sourced from farming communities in the Philippines.
• Best Use: Its primary use is as a versatile mixer for creating a wide variety of tropical cocktails, rather than a spirit for sipping straight. It was initially invented in the late 1970s to simplify the preparation of the classic Piña Colada. 

• Juices: Pineapple juice is a classic pairing, creating a simple “Malibu and Pineapple” drink. It also works well with cranberry juice, orange juice, or passion fruit juice.
• Sodas: Lemon-lime soda or cola are popular simple mixers.
• Classic Cocktails: It is a key ingredient in famous tropical cocktails such as the Piña Colada, Malibu Bay Breeze, and Malibu Frozen Daiquiri.
