Malibu Bay Breeze
A sweet, tropical cocktail made with coconut rum, pineapple juice, and cranberry juice. It comes together in one glass in about five minutes and scales up easily for a crowd.
Servings: 1 drink
Ingredients
- Ice
- 2 ounces coconut rum
- 2 ounces pineapple juice
- 2 ounces cranberry juice
- Maraschino cherries for garnish (optional)
- Pineapple wedge for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Fill a tall or rocks glass with ice. Starting cold keeps the drink from watering down.
- Add the coconut rum, pineapple juice, and cranberry juice, then stir well.
- Garnish with maraschino cherries, a pineapple wedge, or a lime wedge, and serve right away while cold.
- To make a pitcher, combine equal parts of each in a pitcher and stir. Chill up to 24 hours ahead and pour over fresh ice.
Notes
- Rum: Malibu is the classic pick, but any coconut rum works. At around 21% ABV it stays an easy sipper.
- Cranberry juice: Juice cocktail makes a sweeter drink, while 100% cranberry juice is more tart and balanced.
- Chill everything: Start with cold rum and juices so the ice doesn't water it down.
- For a layered look: Pour the pineapple juice first, then add the cranberry juice slowly so it settles toward the bottom.
- For a crowd: Combine equal parts in a pitcher, about 1 cup of each per 4 to 5 drinks, and chill up to 24 hours ahead.
- Make it a mocktail: Skip the rum and add a splash of cream of coconut for the coconut flavor.
- Storage: Keep leftovers covered in the fridge for 1 to 2 days and pour over fresh ice.
