Malibu Caribbean Rum With Coconut Liquor - Original
Most tasters agree on the same thing: this drinks more like a sweet coconut liqueur than a rum, and neat it doesn't win people over. At 21% it's light, very sugary, with a coconut note several call artificial — closer to suntan lotion than fresh coconut. But drop it into a piña colada and the mood changes: fans say it does its one job well.
- Easy coconut flavor
- Great in cocktails
- Widely available

How does Malibu Caribbean Rum With Coconut Liquor - Original taste?
Aggregated from 37 community reviews.
Very sweet coconut mixer, not a sipper Divisive as a sipping rum — most find it too sweet and artificial neat. As a cocktail base, though, several members happily reach for it. "Really not enjoyable neat. Made for cocktails."

Review by Picaroon Lagoon
Not a rum in the conventional sense of the word, but I gave it a rating of ‘good’ as it is great for mixing and can level up Pina Coladas and other cocktails. In other words, it does what it means to, and it does it well enough to make it a worthy companion to any home rum bar.
Review by Émile Shevek
Molto leggero, ok per qualche cocktail
Review by Rumpalumpa
certainly not the best coconut rum or liqueur, but available everywhere. The taste is somewhat artificial and naturally very sweet. Simply tastes more like Malibu than coconut, if that makes sense... But ok in small quantities in a cocktail.
Review by Gregor
Unfortunately, this has little to do with rum. But is drinkable and for the first pina colada then quite good although there are much better alternatives. This one is sweet and the coconut flavor too artificial. The price but OK.
Review by Alek ZD
Not bad tasting, but that 21% alcohol rating is quite low. A little too sweet, and not very...mature, I think is the word I would use.

Much too sweet
Review by Anton Krioukov
Really not enjoyable neat. Made for cocktails.
Review by Kayla Roy
If you prefer the taste of suntan lotion to alchohol, this is your neat glass. Please mix this if you drink it.
Review by Mirko Frosini 🇮🇪
For cocktails only! Low rating, but it is not a "rum" born to be tasted. The excessively low alcohol content does not make it a rum.
Review by AlexKelo
Not a rum and drinkable only because of extreme amount of sugar added.
