Malibu Sunset

Malibu Coconut Rum really is a vacation in a glass, drifting back to tropical destinations and hot days. They are fruity and refreshing. We like two versions, a highball with Cranberry Juice and the old fashioned or lowball with Grenadine. Just add fruit juice/s and the rum!

Malibu Sunset

The "Sunset" starts on either on the top or bottom of the glass!
