Notes for the Malibu Sunset Cocktail:
I used Malibu rum with coconut liqueur for the alcohol. Fresh pineapple juice and yummy sweet grenadine syrup to make the sunset blend.
I experimented with mixing cranberry juice and sparkling tonic water in the drink with the rest of the ingredients. That didn’t turn out too well. My Cranberry Mimosa’s are the drink for you if you are looking for a cranberry party drink. Yum!
Malibu Sunset Cocktail tastes so good and offers colorful, elegant refreshment! Want this stunner as a virgin drink? Try using coconut water instead of the coconut rum!
Malibu sunset cocktail. Perfect for your summer parties!
Here’s the Method:
To make this yummy drink:
- Place 3-4 ice cubes in the bottom of a glass. I’m using Heavy Base Rocks 4 piece set Drinking Glasses 11.7 oz
- Pour the pineapple juice and the rum over the ice.
- Next, pour the grenadine slowly down one side of the glass (pouring too fast will mix the grenadine in and you won’t get the cool color separation)
- I stuck 2 cherries and a pineapple chunk on a toothpick for a garnish. Enjoy your drinks immediately.
Please remember to drink responsibly and kick back and relax!

Jane
How much rum?
Diane
Hi Jane, You will need 1/4 Cup. Thank you for asking. We recently updated the recipe card and it did not properly import. Have a great day!
Lori Butts
I want to make this for about 20 people. How much of each ingredient do I use.
Kayti Lavergne
Well I’ve never made if for a large group of people before, but I would use 2 bottles of pineapple juice, 1 bottle of rum, and 1/2 bottle of grenadine to make it. If you are making it in a large punch bowl, that ratio should work. Just taste test as you go to make sure it isn’t too strong or sweet! Have fun!
Lori
This has been a favorite drink of mine for years. While visiting Belize, our tour guide talked about this drink, which was a regular for me, but he called it the “panty ripper”.
My husband thought he’d be smart and order it by that nakpme back home and of course the bartender thought he was nuts.
I find it refreshing anytime of year.
Diane
Haha Lori, That’s a good story. I can so picture sipping this drink in Belize. Wonderful setting!
Susie
You’re NOT gonna believe this story: I’m working today at the liquor store and this lady, Shelly, came in for a Malibu recipe. So, I googled it and she picked this one.
I was like OMG! That’s my sister’s site!
