Delicious Frozen Cocktails with Malibu Rum
Pina Colada


The piña colada is the quintessential ruler of tropical cocktails. When made with Malibu Coconut Rum, it tastes even better! This cocktail recipe calls for Malibu, coconut cream, and pineapple juice, along with ice. Blend it all together – it’s as simple as that.
We like to use frozen pineapple juice concentrate because it’s a bit more potent and allows us to use a little less ice. Garnish the glass with a rim of coconut flakes, along with a slice of pineapple or orange and a maraschino cherry. A non-alcoholic version is just as easy to make. Simply skip the rum!
Frozen Malibu Rum Punch


Who doesn’t love a rum punch? It’s a great tropical cocktail and always a crowd-pleaser. What makes this one different from the typical rum punch cocktail recipes is that it uses fresh ingredients that are added to a blender and blended for a wonderful slushy consistency.
To whip this up, you’ll need all the flavors of summer – fresh mango, fresh strawberries, frozen pineapple, orange juice, lime juice, and of course, Malibu coconut rum. Pour into well-chilled glasses and serve with sliced citrus as a garnish.
Malibu Strawberry Daiquiri


Strawberry daiquiris are typically made with regular light rum, but with a bottle of Malibu on your bar, there’s no reason to stick to the standard recipes. The coconut flavors really do something to elevate this frozen drink.
All you need is Malibu coconut rum, a scoop or two of fresh or frozen strawberries, simple syrup to match your taste preferences for sweetness, and some ice cubes. Toss it all together and blend until smooth. Garnish your glass with a sugar rim, and enjoy.
Malibu Bay Breeze

The Bay Breeze is usually served over ice, but this frozen version recipe switches things up a bit. The ingredients basically stay the same. All you need is Malibu coconut rum, cranberry juice, and pineapple juice. If you’d like to tempt your taste buds with some extra booziness, add some dark rum as well.

It doesn’t get any simpler or more delicious than this super easy frozen lemonade cocktail recipe. We were familiar with the classic vodka and lemonade cocktail, but we hadn’t thought about using coconut rum instead. We will from now on, though!
Frozen lemonade concentrate, Malibu coconut rum, and ice are the three ingredients you need. Whip them together in a blender until smooth, and then pour into a nice big glass to serve (we don’t pay attention to serving size around here!)
If you’d like a bit more of a tropical flavor, try adding a little coconut cream or coconut milk – just make sure you add extra ice to compensate for the extra liquid.
Rum Lava Flow

The Rum Lava Flow combines both Malibu rum and white rum with a healthy dose of fresh fruit, including strawberry and banana. With the addition of pineapple juice and ice that’s swirled around in a blender and blended, this cocktail recipe easily brings to mind the sandy beaches of summer. A rim of coconut flakes and a slice of pineapple or orange adds a nice touch.
Jack Frost Cocktail

Normally, Jack Frost isn’t a name that’s typically associated with summer, but one taste of this tropical rum drink will change your mind. The name comes from the blue color and the fact that it is a frozen blend of deliciousness.
Malibu rum, blue curacao, pineapple juice, coconut cream, and cream of coconut make for a decadent cocktail recipe. For an extra fun touch, serve in a glass that’s garnished with coconut flakes and edible glitter to resemble snow.
Frozen Coconut Mojito


A Mojito is one of the classic drinks, but it can be a bit fussy when you have to muddle the mint and lime in the bottom of the glass. This frozen mojito cocktail recipe offers all the same flavor but is easy to make — just blend and serve!
Malibu rum, lime juice, cream of coconut, fresh mint, and ice are all you need. If you’re a fan of different mojito flavors, you can easily add pineapple juice or mango to this cocktail recipe to change the flavor up a bit.
Frozen Bahama Mama


A Bahama Mama is a drink that must be enjoyed on every tropical vacation, but with the help of cocktail recipes like this, you don’t have to wait until you find a sandy beach before enjoying it. This coconut cocktail features dark rum, Malibu rum for a coconut flavor, lime juice, pineapple juice, and a bit of grenadine.
With the classic, non-frozen version, grenadine is slowly poured into the glass after the cocktail has been prepared. With this version, the grenadine is added to the bottom of the hurricane glass first since it won’t sink through the frozen consistency.
Strawberry Colada


We already talked about a Malibu piña colada, but this cocktail is a bit different with the addition of frozen strawberries and frozen pineapple for a Malibu piña colada of your dreams. Coconut rum and coconut milk add all the coconut flavor you need in this drink. If strawberry isn’t your thing, this pina colada recipe tastes just as decadent and refreshing with mango instead of strawberries.
Pineapple Rum Slushie


Do you remember the slushies you would slurp on as a kid on a hot summer day? This cocktail is similar, but it’s so much better because it’s a grown-up version! It has the personality of a pina colada, but you can tell it’s a different drink.
Mix together Malibu rum, pineapple chunks (frozen is fine), and milk in a blender. Blend until it’s nice and creamy, then pour a couple of cocktails for you and your friends. We highly recommend serving this cocktail poolside!
FAQs
What is the best drink to mix with Malibu?
Malibu goes well with so many flavors that you can mix it with many different things and not be disappointed. Make simple cocktails by mixing Malibu with pineapple juice, cranberry juice, lime juice, or even soda, like cola or lemon-lime. Malibu also goes great in a pina colada or bay breeze in place of regular white rum.
Is Malibu and milk a thing?
Malibu and milk are a thing, but from the reviews we’ve seen, drink testers and reader interactions were a mixed bag of results. Some people love it, while others find it way too sweet. Most Malibu and milk recipes call for a hefty amount of sugar, which seems necessary on the one hand, but over-the-top sweet on the other.
Is Malibu rum good for strawberry daiquiri?
A frozen strawberry daiquiri is a great way to enjoy Malibu coconut rum. You can use Malibu in place of regular white or light rum in most drinks that lend themselves well to the influence of coconut.
