History[edit | edit source]

The idea behind the creation of Malibu Rum was to produce a rum that had a smooth and tropical taste, perfect for mixing in cocktails. The brand quickly gained popularity and became synonymous with beach parties and tropical getaways.

Production[edit | edit source]

Malibu Rum is made using a unique process that combines Caribbean rum with natural coconut flavor. The rum is distilled from molasses, a byproduct of sugarcane processing. The distillation process removes impurities and creates a smooth and flavorful base for the rum. Natural coconut flavor is then added to give Malibu Rum its signature taste.
