By Malibu

On the hottest days of the year, you may be looking for a refreshing cocktail that’s quick and easy, with minimal faff, to make, and this could be it. If you have a bottle of Malibu Pineapple and some orange juice in your fridge, you have everything you need.

Pineapple Piña Colada

By Malibu

Perhaps the quintessential tropical drink, the pina colada has fuelled many a late-night dancing session throughout the Caribbean and beyond. And with the help of Malibu Pineapple, they are pretty straightforward to make. You will need, aside from the Malibu rum, some pineapple juice and coconut cream, as well as a few slices of pineapple for decoration.

Choose a larger glass, such as a highball or hurricane glass, and chill it in the fridge while you gather your ingredients. Once chilled, add some ice, followed by one part rum, half a measure of coconut cream, and two parts pineapple juice. Then you just need to add Escape (The Piña Colada Song) to your playlist and enjoy your refreshing cocktail as you wait to hit the dancefloor.

Coconut Rum Drinks With Added Pineapple

If you are struggling to source a bottle of Malibu Pineapple in your local stores and the delivery man hasn’t arrived yet, you can still make yourself or that special pineapple and coconut lover in your life some delicious cocktails by grabbing a bottle of Malibu regular rum and some fresh pineapples.

Original Malibu Coconut Rum is a Caribbean white rum flavored with coconut water but has not been infused with additional tropical fruit flavors.

Malibu Piña Colada

By Malibu

But if you’re craving a delicious Pina Colada and your local liquor store has no flavored Malibu, you can still mix up a tasty cocktail packed with tropical flavor. Instead, grab a bottle of original Malibu coconut liqueur, some pineapple juice, some coconut cream, and plenty of ice.

Fill your cocktail shaker with ice, then pour in one part Malibu Coconut Rum, a part and a half of pineapple juice, half a measure of coconut cream, and give it a vigorous shake. Then strain into a highball glass and serve. This also works wonderfully as a frozen drink – just use a blender instead of a cocktail shaker. 

Malibu Sunset

By A Couple Cooks

It’s not a secret ingredient that makes a Malibu Sunset drink look cool. It’s just a (slightly) special way of pouring it. The visually-striking rum cocktail should resemble a sunset when poured correctly, and a hurricane glass is perfect for the presentation.

Add equal measures of the Malibu Coconut Rum and the pineapple and orange juices to your glass, and then have some grenadine syrup at the ready. You need to pour the grenadine nice and slowly into the center of the drink, and the denser liquid will slowly sink to the bottom, creating a perfect sunset effect.

Malibu And Pineapple

By Malibu

For a simple yet refreshing Malibu drink, this easy cocktail recipe calls for just two ingredients: Malibu Coconut Rum and pineapple juice. Simply load a highball glass with ice cubes, then add one part of Malibu rum to two parts of the tropical fruit juice.

Piña Co-Lava Cocktail

By Tikkido

The Piña Co-Lava cocktail recipe calls for Malibu coconut rum, fresh pineapple, ginger ale, and grenadine syrup and is another of the great Malibu rum cocktails that work well on hot summer days.

To mix it up, add four ounces each of the fresh pineapple and ginger ale to a glass, then pour in a part and a half of Malibu Coconut Rum and add a splash of grenadine for color and extra fruity flavors.

Pineapple Daiquiri Brew Cocktail

By Malibu

While a strawberry daiquiri is a great-tasting cocktail recipe, if you’re looking for that quintessential tropical taste, a pineapple daiquiri might be even better. And they’re also very easy to make. 

Fill your trusty highball glass with ice again, then add in two parts Malibu Coconut Rum and one part each of pineapple and lime juice, and a splash of simple syrup to suit your taste preferences for a little sweetness. Simple.
