Recommendations for Mixers to go with Flavored Rum

A few weeks ago I was in St. Thomas, and I bought some liquor tax- and duty-free. 3 bottles of Malibu rum for $9 each. :eek: I figure what with Thursday being New Year’s Eve, it might be time to finish them off.

I have a bottle of Passionfruit, a bottle of Pineapple, and a bottle of coconut. NOTE: Pictures are for reference only; I am NOT shilling for whatever website hosts those pictures.

I’ve found a great mixer for the coconut rum: pineapple juice! A sweet and tropical delight, and about four of them will have Mrs. Homie putting out like it’s going out of style. :smiley:

Any recommendations for the passionfruit or the coconut???

Would a suggestion for use in a recipe, rather than a drink, help? Nigella Lawson has a recipe for chocolate sauce with Malibu to serve with grilled pineapple.

Otherwise I’m not much help. I do like mixing coconut Malibu with coconut milk, but that’s a bit boring.

#3

Coca Cola goes nicely with all of them!

#4

Orange Juice & Pineapple rum.

#5

I like to mix the coconut rum with 7-up. Really nice and refreshing on a hot summer day - and, since the drink is clear, you can take it into the pool with you!

#6

Orange juice and coconut Malibu is delicious!

#7

Pineapple-orange juice with coconut rum is out of this world. Add some Sprite or 7-up, and it’s even better.

#8

Pineapple rum makes a nice Mojito.

#9

Mint and pineapple? Really? Huh.

#10

I had some pineapple, orange juice and Malibu in BVI when the OJ was running low. 10 minutes later I remembered, “Oh yeah, pineapple gives me incredible heart burn.” Much :smack:ing and Tums followed.

But it was quite tasty.

Take a tall glass. Fill it with ice.

Add 2 jiggers Vodka
Add 1 jigger Malibu (the original coconut)
Add several ounces pineapple juice
Add the same amount (or a little less) of orange juice
Float a small splash of grenadine (well, actually it’ll sink, but you get the idea)

Yum! You can also shake this and serve it as a fruity martini/cocktail - also good.

It’s very fruity, and sweet, so keep that in mind if you’re not a fruity sweet drink drinker. I joked with Mr. Snicks that if I were a) male and b) back in college, I’d call this concoction the Panty Dropper.

Got it from a bar we went to recently. I’d forgotten how much I love pineapple juice.

Sorry, another use for your coconut Malibu (I’m afraid I don’t have any ideas for the other two!): tropical white russians!

Take a small glass, fill with ice.

Add 1 jigger Kahlua
Add 1 jigger Malibu (the original coconut again) - takes the place of the vodka in the original
Fill with cream, half-and-half, or milk, whatever moves you

The tiki bar I frequent around here makes this, they call it the Coconaut. It’s quite tasty. Again, it’s pretty sweet.

#13

Coconut with ginger beer (or ale, if you don’t like your drinks to burn).

Alternatively, throw it away. Malibu is horrid.

A few weeks ago I made what I think of as a “cocojito.” Make a mojito with coconut rum, plenty of lime, and leaving out the mint. Since I lurves coconut and lime, I found it wonderful. (And yes, I did drink it all up, and it did not give me a bellyache.)

A Cuba libre with coconut rum is also killer.
