Well since Hilary has included a blog with regards to Malibu it immediately bring up images of Sun Sea and sipping cocktails
So where does it come from? Well….. It was first blended and brought out in the 1980s and started out made from fruit spirit flavored with rum and coconut flavoring in Curaçao.
The idea was to help out the bartenders who where sick to death of Pina Coladas so it was made to make life easier for them! When it got popular production was over to Barbados and the quality of the ingredients used in it was improved.
Advertising campaigns label it “Seriously Easy Going” (have you seen them) the ads featuring people from the Caribbean taking life seriously, a parody our Western urban lifestyle!!!!

Malibu Sunrise recipe
2 oz Malibu® coconut rum
Fill with orange juice
1 oz grenadine syrup
Pour Malibu rum in glass, and top with orange juice. Stir.
Add grenadine by tilting glass and pouring grenadine down side. (By flipping the bottle vertically very quickly). The grenadine should go straight to the bottom and then rise up slowly through the drink.
