description Malibu Original Overview

Malibu Original is a coconut-flavored, rum-based liqueur associated with Caribbean rum production. It has a sweet coconut profile and a lower alcoholic strength than many standard bottled rums, so it is classified and used as a liqueur rather than as an unflavored rum. It is commonly mixed with pineapple juice, cola, and other fruit-based ingredients in tropical-style cocktails and simple long drinks.
