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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.)
