Cocktails with Malibu

The composition of the Malibu Liquor is quite simple and was created quite recently, in 1985. Almost immediately, cocktails with malibu have become almost the most popular drink in nightclubs in Europe, and all because the simple liquor recipe, consisting of rum and coconut, is very pleasant to taste, and its strength reaches 21%.

Historically, the liquor came to Europe, and then to eastern countries from the island of Barbados, which is located in the Caribbean Sea. By the way, Barbados is also home to the Roma itself - British settlers in the 17th century put all sorts of experiments there to get alcoholic beverages. As a result, they even got beer from the pumpkin peel, but, unlike the rum, it was not widely spread.

For a long time, rum was a dark, poorly filtered and unpleasantly smelling drink, and only sailors and slaves were reveling in it until they lost sight of their hard existence. Cocktails with malibu they at that time did not even dream. For sailors, rum also served as a remedy against scurvy and microbes, so it was introduced into the daily ration on ships, and this rule was only canceled 40 years ago. But approximately in 1862 rum by a new distillation was ennobled and clarified. Since then, it has become a popular drink for rich planters.

Since they came up with the Malibu in Barbados, he is sent to Scotland, where in Dumbarton, liquor is bottled and sent to the market all over the world.

So far, new cocktails are being invented with rum malibu, but there are several classic, naive and tonic options. For example, one of them, "Sunrise", sounds like this:

- 30 ml of Malibu

- 15 ml grenadine syrup

- Orange juice

This cocktail should only be mixed in a highball glass: pour liquor into it, then orange juice (leaving about two cm to the edge of the glass), stir well and add a syrup that tops smoothly to the bottom, creating a sunrise effect. Also for the beauty in it you can add an orange slice.

Here are some cocktails with a Malibu Liquor:

Cocktail called "Bounty":

Pour into a shaker 50 ml Malibu, 25 ml Kahlúa, add the same 100 ml of pineapple juice, 25 ml of cream, add ice to the shaker. Beat and serve in a glass of flute.

Cocktail with a curious name "Mother":

- 15 ml of vodka, 30 ml of Baileys (the Baileys liquor produced by Ireland is considered the best liquor in the world), 15 ml of Malibu and 3 drops of pomegranate juice. All shake in a blender, serve in glasses for martini or champagne.

And, of course, the legendary recipe of "Pina Colada":

- 3 parts of freshly squeezed pineapple juice

Approximately 5 cubes of ice (you can one more, you can less)

- 2 parts of a light Roma

- 2 parts of Malibu

In the shaker, put ice (crushed), add light rum, pineapple juice and Malibu liquor. All this is good to shake, then strain the drink and merge it into a large glass. As a decoration add a cherry and a slice of pineapple.

Cocktails with malibu are so popular, because the liquor itself consists of white rum and coconut. It can be drunk and undiluted, adding only lime, but it's already an amateur. Many bartenders create their little masterpieces - cocktails with malibu, mixing drinks and adding ingredients that are very popular. You can even come up with some simple cocktail recipe, decorate it with fruits, mint and invite friends to a tasting.
