On these hot summer days when light and fruity drinks are popular How about a drink full of tropical flavors? We will tell you about a legend, Malibu!
Malibu contains coconut liqueur and white rum. The liqueur is known as the summer drink because it is consumed mostly with cold cocktails. It leaves a deeper, more natural tropical aroma in your mouth without the sugary aftertaste. Unlike many flavored rum liqueurs, the finish is surprisingly light and has a lingering coconut flavor that entices you to take the next sip.
The liqueur, which has an alcohol content of 21 percent, is not consumed neat, but it is perfect for cocktails with its pleasant drink. Mixologists call Malibu “The thing that adds soul to the cocktail.” expresses as. We can say that it is a perfect choice for a variety of cocktail recipes, from martinis to tropical flavors and even hot and relaxing drinks.
Malibu was launched in South Africa in 1978 under the name Coco Rico. Fruity and sugary drinks were popular at that time, which created an ideal environment to introduce coconut rum. With the influence of advertisements, Malibu’s popularity increased in just one year.
While the original bottle is extremely popular, another version of the liqueur, Malibu Black, takes coconut rum to a bolder level. Black is not only stronger with its 35 percent alcohol content, but its aroma is also more dominant than white. In this respect, its impact in cocktails is not lost. It is very enjoyable when served iced.
