Ingredients

For the Malibu Sunset Cocktail

  • 2 oz Malibu coconut rum
  • 3 oz pineapple juice, chilled
  • 2 oz orange juice, chilled
  • 1/2 oz grenadine syrup
  • 1 cup ice cubes

Optional Garnishes

  • Cocktail umbrella

Instructions

Instructions

  1. Fill the glass: Add ice cubes to a tall hurricane or cocktail glass.
  2. Add the coconut rum: Pour the Malibu coconut rum over the ice.
  3. Add the tropical juices: Pour in the pineapple juice and orange juice. Stir gently to combine the flavors.
  4. Create the sunset layer: Slowly drizzle grenadine syrup into the glass. Allow it to sink naturally and create the beautiful red-to-orange sunset effect.
  5. Garnish and enjoy: Add fruit garnishes, a cherry, or an umbrella. Serve immediately while chilled.

Notes

For the prettiest layered effect, do not stir after adding grenadine. Use freshly chilled juices for the best flavor. You can make a mocktail version by replacing the coconut rum with coconut water or extra pineapple juice.
