This creamy dream, the famous Malibu Piña Colada, is a tropical drink with roots in Puerto Rico, and boy, does it make you feel like you’re chilling on a sunny beach. 

It beautifully marries together Malibu Original, Coconut Cream, and pineapple juice to create a taste of paradise. Served in a Hurricane Glass and garnished with a fancy slice of Pineapple and a Maraschino Cherry, giving it an island vacation vibe!

Now, let’s chat history – and this tropical beauty of a drink was born in the Caribbean, although the exact origin remains a subject of debate, but it sounds to us like it was a fruity tale of bartenders who probably wore a Hawaiian shirt before they were cool.

Legend has it that it was born in a resort in the outskirts of San Juan, Puerto Rico during the 1950s. Where a talented barman mixed local rum with Coconut Cream, Heavy Cream, and fresh Pineapple Juice, creating an instant hit — and icon was born, and the rest is history!

But let’s not forget the star of the show – Malibu Original. It’s like a Caribbean vacation in a bottle, and when it joins forces with the Piña Colada, it’s like a dynamic duo of deliciousness. The sweet, coconutty goodness of Malibu takes this classic cocktail to a whole new level of taste.
