What Is Malibu Pink?

Malibu Pink is a flavored Caribbean rum liqueur known for its fruity tropical flavor and vibrant pink color. It adds a fun twist to classic cocktails and pairs beautifully with fresh citrus and mint.

I’ve made other cocktails with Malibu Pink, Malibu Pink Pineapple Sunset Cocktail and Malibu Pink Limeade.

I also shared Peach Mango Smoothie, which is a non-alcoholic tropical drink option.

Tips for the Best Mojito

Use Fresh Mint

Fresh mint creates the signature flavor of a great summer rum mojito. Avoid dried mint for this recipe.

Don’t Over-Muddle

Press gently when muddling. Crushing the mint too aggressively can create a bitter taste.

Fresh Lime Juice Matters

Freshly squeezed lime juice provides a brighter, fresher flavor than bottled juice.
