I have a serious thing for Malibu Coconut Rum, and if you love that sweet, coconutty, totally tropical vibe in your glass, you’re in the right place. I’ve pulled together 15 show-stopping Malibu rum drinks that bring the beach straight to your backyard. From classic, breezy sips to fun frozen numbers, there’s a new favorite waiting for you right here.
1. Malibu Rum Shooters
These shooters are my secret weapon for summer parties. A quick mix of Malibu coconut rum, mango juice, and blue curaçao gives them a fruity, tropical punch that guests go crazy for. They’re fast, they’re gorgeous, and they taste like a getaway in a tiny glass.
2. Pineapple Rum Punch
This punch is my kind of summer in a glass. It’s sweet and refreshing, and it delivers all the beachy feels without ever leaving home.
I reach for this one when I want that instant vacation mood, and it never lets me down. You’re going to want this on repeat all season long.
3. Pink Bikini Cocktail
This one is as fun to look at as it is to sip. Raspberry lemonade, coconut rum, amaretto, and a scoop of orange sherbet float together into the sweetest, most tropical treat.
I love how effortlessly it comes together for picnics and backyard get togethers. It’s pure sunshine in a glass.

Summertime sipping just doesn’t get any better than this. Strawberry flavored Malibu Rum meets lemonade for a perfectly balanced drink that’s not too sweet and not too tangy.
I make this for lazy afternoons, cookouts, you name it. It’s the kind of cocktail that instantly makes everything feel more relaxed.
