Malibu sunset cocktail. This gorgeous drink definitely say Caribbean sunset to me. Let’s all go lay in our hammocks with a Caribbean rum Malibu Sunset. And dream of Jamaican beaches! If you are lucky enough to be on the beach…(envy sigh here). Think of me. 🙂

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. Sweet alcoholic drinks like this one are VERY easy to drink WAY too fast. So be careful. This one can sneak up on you.

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

Prep Time: 5 minutes
Total Time: 5 minutes
Delicious and refreshing Malibu Sunset Cocktail. This easy to make, lovely drink offers a beautiful blend of coconut rum, pineapple, and sweet grenadine. Our Texas readers call it a "Panty Dropper".   Some claim this perky beauty is a "Malibu Barbie". No matter the name, this is a popular party drink you will love!

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup Malibu rum with coconut liqueur
  • 1/2 cup pineapple juice
  • 2 Tablespoon of grenadine, A Splash to make the bottom of the glass red

Garnish with:

  • 2 maraschino cherries
  • 1 slice of pineapple

Instructions

  1. To make this yummy drink, simply put 3-4 ice cubes in the bottom of a glass.
  2. Pour the pineapple juice and the rum over the ice.
  3. 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)
  4. I stuck 2 cherries and a pineapple chunk on a toothpick for a garnish.
  5. Enjoy your drinks immediately.
  6. Please remember to drink responsibly and kick back and relax!

    Great drink! Good combination of flavors. Can barley taste any liquor in it. I decided to use parrot bay coconut rum the second time, its a bit cheaper and quite bit stronger with the same flavors and got the same result and the drink still had a subtle taste of alcohol.

        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!

    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.

    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!

    This is my FAVORITE drink. I learned how to make it years ago in Lubbock, TX. Down there, it’s called (excuse the name) a “Panty Dropper”. Delicious!
