Malibu Bay Breeze Recipe

Ingredients:

• 2 oz (60 ml) Malibu Coconut Rum
• 2 oz (60 ml) Cranberry Juice
• 2 oz (60 ml) Pineapple Juice
• Ice
• Lime wedge or pineapple slice (for garnish, optional)

Instructions:

1. Fill a Highball Glass with Ice:
   Start by filling a highball or any tall glass with ice cubes. This will help keep your drink chilled and refreshing.
2. Add Malibu Rum:
   Pour 2 ounces of Malibu Coconut Rum over the ice. The coconut flavor of Malibu is the base of this cocktail and gives it that tropical vibe.
3. Add Juices:

• Pour 2 ounces of cranberry juice into the glass.
• Then, pour 2 ounces of pineapple juice. The combination of these two juices with the rum creates a beautifully layered, colorful drink.

1. Stir or Shake:
   You can choose to gently stir the drink with a cocktail stirrer or if you prefer, you can shake it. To shake, pour all the ingredients into a cocktail shaker filled with ice, shake well, and then strain into your glass filled with fresh ice.
2. Garnish:
   For a finishing touch, garnish your Malibu Bay Breeze with a lime wedge or a slice of pineapple. You can also add a maraschino cherry for an extra pop of color.
3. Serve:
   Serve immediately and enjoy your Malibu Bay Breeze.

Tips:

• Fresh Juice: For an extra burst of flavor, use fresh pineapple juice if possible.
• Layering: If you want a visually stunning drink, pour the ingredients slowly over the back of a spoon to create a layered effect with the cranberry juice at the bottom, the pineapple juice in the middle, and the rum on top.
• Variations: Feel free to experiment with the ratios to suit your taste. Some prefer a bit more cranberry juice for tartness or more pineapple juice for sweetness.

Enjoy your Malibu Bay Breeze, a delightful cocktail that brings a taste of the tropics to your glass!
