Sunset Malibu Cocktail
Ingredients
1/8 cup Malibu rum with coconut liqueur
1/2 cup pineapple juice
splash of grenadine (just enough to make the bottom of the glass red)
Garnish with:
2 maraschino cherries
1 slice of pineapple
Directions
To make this yummy drink, simply put 3-4 ice cubes in the bottom of a glass. Pour the pineapple juice and the rum over the ice.
Next, pour the grenadine slowly down one side of the glass (pouring too fast will mix the grenadine in and you won’t get the cool color separation)
I stuck 2 cherries and a pineapple chunk on a toothpick for a garnish.
Enjoy your drinks immediately.
Please remember to drink responsibly and kick back and relax!
