    This is a personal favorite for both my husband and I when we want a fun drink to enjoy together!

    And why not?! There's just so much to love about this easy cocktail! The Malibu sunrise is literally flavor-packed and is visually stunning too!

    Talk about an easy way to impress friends too! You'll look like a pro when you add your rum and fruit juices, then tip and pour the grenadine for the grand finale before serving!

    🍹 Ingredients

    With only four ingredients the Malibu Sunrise is a fun and easy to make cocktail! You can certainly buy pineapple-orange juice already mixed together but I prefer to layer the flavors and colors!

    • Malibu Rum - Good Ol' Malibu coconut flavored rum. A personal favorite!
    • Orange Juice - To get the trademark orange sunrise effect.
    • Pineapple Juice - Added to get the lighter yellow layer.
    • Grenadine Syrup - This will sink to the bottom and give a beautiful red base layer color.
    • Optional Garnish - Garnish with maraschino cherries, an orange slice, or even a pineapple wedge.

    🍸 Instructions

    You will get a great drink just adding everything to a glass. However, to get the sunrise effect for your cocktail do the steps in order.

    1. Start with your ice. In a tall glass add the ice.
    2. Pour the rum. Add 2 ounces of the Malibu rum over ice.
    3. Add your fruit juices. Next, slowly pour in 1 once of orange juice, then 3 ounces of pineapple juice.
    4. Tilt and pour. Tilt your glass to the side and slowly pour 1 ounce of grenadine syrup down the inside of the glass.
    5. Garnish and serve. Garnish with cherries, an orange slice, or a wedge of fresh pineapple.

    That's it! Now you have the makings for a fantastic girls' night in! Or simply enjoy your amazingly flavorful Malibu sunrise just because! 🙂

    🥂 Cocktail Tips & Variations

    Do not stir the rum cocktail.

    • You can stir if you don't mind the colors being muddled.

    Get the Malibu nice and cold.

    • Refrigerate or put your rum in the freezer so your ice doesn't melt too quickly.
