What is Malibu Strawberry?

Malibu, but with strawberries

Malibu Strawberry is one of the newer flavours in the Malibu family: the same coconut rum as the original, with strawberry added. The base is white Caribbean rum made from sugar cane with coconut, complemented by natural flavourings that give it the taste of sweet, fresh strawberries. Like the original, it comes from Barbados, where Malibu has been made since 1982.

At 21% alcohol, it is just as strong as regular Malibu Coconut. The coconut remains recognisable, but strawberry takes centre stage. It is easy to drink, straight over ice or in a mixed drink. Whereas classic Malibu mainly calls for pineapple juice, Strawberry works better with lemonade, sparkling water, lime and mint: anything that keeps the strawberry fresh.

Everything about Malibu →
What percentage of alcohol is in Malibu Strawberry?
Malibu Strawberry contains 21% alcohol, just like Malibu Coconut and Malibu Watermelon.
Is Malibu Strawberry rum or liqueur?
It is a rum liqueur: coconut rum with strawberry, made from white Caribbean rum with coconut, sugar and natural strawberry flavoring. Because of its low alcohol content and added sugar, it officially cannot be called rum.
What do you mix Malibu Strawberry with?
With lemonade, bitter lemon, sparkling water or Sprite, and always with plenty of ice. Lime and mint make it fresher. Pineapple juice also works, but makes it very sweet.
Can you drink Malibu Strawberry neat?
Yes, you can: chilled and over plenty of ice, optionally with a lime wedge. It is sweet, so most people prefer to drink it mixed.
Does Malibu Strawberry also taste like coconut?
Yes. It is coconut rum with strawberry: the strawberry comes first, while the coconut in regular Malibu provides its smooth, rounded base.
