Malibu Bay Breeze Recipe

Share on social media

This Malibu Bay Breeze recipe is one of our most favorite cocktails we’ve made. A Bay Breeze cocktail, also called a Hawaiian Sea Breeze cocktail, is typically made with a combination of grapefruit juice and vodka, but we made ours with Malibu coconut rum, pineapple juice, and cranberry juice. It reminds us of the red and orange sunset on the Malibu bottle, and it will have you feeling like you are on a tropical island.

Why we love this recipe-

• This refreshing cocktail has the perfect balance of pineapple and cranberry.
• The flavors of coconut in the rum are the perfect addition.
• Whether it is a special occasion or a Friday night, this is a simple mixed drink to make any time.

Ingredients:

• 3 ounces Malibu coconut rum
• 4 ounces pineapple juice
• 2 ounces cranberry juice
• Fresh pineapple wedge for garnish
• Maraschino cherries for garnish

Directions:

Step 1: Fill a tall glass (like a highball glass) with ice.

Step 2: Pour in Malibu rum, followed by pineapple juice. Stir.

Step 3: Float cranberry juice on top.

Step 4: Garnish with a fresh wedge of pineapple and a maraschino cherry.

Substitutions & Tips:

• You may want to use unsweetened cranberry juice in this drink, depending on how sweet you like your cocktails. If you use a sweeter pineapple juice, unsweetened cranberry juice is perfect, but if you use fresh pineapple juice, you may need a little more sweetness, and I would use something like an Ocean Spray cranberry cocktail. 
• You can substitute white rum for the coconut-flavored rum, but you do loose a little bit of the tropical flavors if you do that.
