Malibu is Caribbean rum flavoured with coconut and bottled at 21% ABV. That number is the fact worth knowing: it is roughly half the strength of a standard rum, because Malibu is a rum-based liqueur rather than a straight rum.
The flavour is exactly what the white bottle promises — coconut, clear sweetness and a light body. It is not complex and does not pretend to be. It is a sweet, low-strength component for easy drinks.
Use it with fruit. Pineapple juice is the classic partner and makes a two-ingredient drink that always works; cranberry, orange and cola all pair well too, and it is a shortcut to a piña colada with coconut already handled. Because it is lower in alcohol, drinks built on it come out gentler than the same recipe made with full-strength rum.
It is a reliable party bottle for people who do not like the taste of spirits, and it is easy to mix without measuring precisely. 247BOOZE delivers Malibu across our active service areas 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
