MALIBU SUNSET COCKTAIL

Instructions
- To make this yummy drink, simply put 3-4 ice cubes in the bottom of a glass.
- Pour the pineapple juice and the rum over the ice.

My husband was so impressed. This drink is dangerously delicious. Thank you so much for sharing.
Kayti Lavergne
I’m so glad you enjoyed it! Thank you so much for the wonderful comment!
Ashley
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.
Kayti Lavergne
Oh yum! I haven’t tried parrot bay before! Thanks for the suggestion, I’m so glad you enjoyed the drink! 🙂
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!
