In the world there are many spirits with a rich history and big names on the labels. They are known even to those who have never tried. One such “celebrity” is the Malibu liquor.
It is he who is recognized as the owner of the most exquisite taste in the world among hundreds of other brands of rum. And there is nothing surprising in the fact that such fame translates into record sales - almost three million boxes a year!
In general, rum appeared a very long time ago. We all remember stories about brave pirates who did not go to any sail without taking with them a couple of bottles to maintain morale. Liqueur “Malibu” is a child of the 20th century, when the passion of millions of people for all kinds of cocktails made the producers of alcoholic beverages turn on their fantasy at full capacity.
At the heart of the liquor is the real Barbados rum, which is given a more refined taste, adding molasses and natural coconut extract. So the drink becomes sweet and acquires an amazing aroma reminiscent of hot countries and sultry beaches.
However, in order to try “Malibu”, traveling far is not necessary. At the moment, it is sold in more than fifty countries of the world. Therefore, it is enough to go to the nearest good store and look on the shelves for a milk-white bottle with two palm trees against the backdrop of a tropical sunset.
Liquor can be used as a completely independent drink. However, this is not for everybody, since not everyone likes excessive sweetness. Truly, he wins hearts as part of various cocktails. In them the unique taste is revealed to the full, and the lips do not stick together.
Which cocktail with Malibu liqueur should I prefer? To make a choice, you must first try. However, it is not a fact that after this it will be possible to dwell on one thing.
The easiest option is to mix liquor with any citrus juice and pour into a glass with ice. Juice perfectly dilutes the sweetness. The result is a drink of about 10 degrees strength, with a ratio of 90 ml of juice and 60 liquor. By the way, if you take mango juice, it will already be an Acapulco cocktail.
Pour 100 ml of pineapple juice into a glass, add 30 ml of Malibu to it and mix well. Do not forget about the ice. You can drink such a tasty food even all night long, because the drink is quite light - only 5 degrees.
Power lovers can delight themselves with a combination of juice, liquor and Red Bull.
For those who prefer something stronger, there is the following option. Take in equal proportions vodka and liquor. You will need exactly two times as much orange juice. Do not want an orange - choose any other, the recipe allows. Pour it all into a glass (highball, if any) with ice, mix and enjoy. Just do not forget that the degrees in such cocktails can play a cruel joke with you, showing your “character” at the most inopportune moment.
Another classic cocktail is Milk Shake. As the name implies, for its preparation you will need milk (200 ml). It should be poured into a blender bowl, add 60 ml of liquor and two tablespoons of sugar there. Everything is thoroughly beaten for about one minute, then sent to a glass.
Milk is generally considered one of the traditional components of Malibu cocktails. Here are some similar options.
We take milk, Malibu liqueur and cream. All this is mixed in equal shares in a blender and poured into a glass of margarita. If you change the ratio of components, you can achieve the perfect combination for yourself. If you want stronger - pour more alcohol, easier - milk.
There is also an option where cream, coffee and Malibu liqueur are mixed, it turns out very tasty, just do not shake too much. Here, a blender is not needed, just a shaker.
All of the above recipes will be appreciated by those for whom there is only one meaning of the word "Malibu" - liquor. A cocktail prepared on its basis is an unusual thing. Try and be sure to love!
