Scale

Ingredients

  • Ice cubes
  • 3 to 4 ounces pineapple-orange juice blend
  • 2 ounces Malibu Coconut Rum
  • Grenadine (drizzled to taste)
  • Maraschino cherries (for garnishing)
  • Pineapple slices and/or orange slices (for garnishing)

Instructions

  1. Add Ice: Fill your glass with ice cubes to chill the drink and keep it refreshingly cold.
  2. Add Juice and Rum: Pour 3 to 4 ounces of pineapple-orange juice blend into the glass followed by 2 ounces of Malibu Coconut Rum, then stir gently to combine the flavors.
  3. Drizzle Grenadine: Slowly drizzle grenadine over the drink; it will sink to the bottom creating a beautiful layered sunset effect.
  4. Garnish the Drink: Add maraschino cherries along with pineapple and/or orange slices on the rim or inside the glass to enhance both flavor and presentation.
  5. Serve Immediately: Enjoy your Malibu Sunset right away while it’s fresh and chilled for the best experience.

Notes

  • Using a pre-mixed pineapple-orange blend simplifies the recipe and balances flavors.
  • Adjust the amount of grenadine based on your preferred sweetness and color intensity.
  • For a non-alcoholic version, omit Malibu Coconut Rum and use extra juice.
  • Serve in a tall glass to showcase the sunset layering effect.
  • Chilling the glass beforehand can keep the cocktail cooler longer.
