El Caribeño

Our opinion is the flavor profile of the El Caribeño is sweet and coconutty with a tangy citrusy bite that’s balanced out by the crispy cucumber. So, basically, it’s delicious.

To us, the Malibu Original adds a sweet and tropical taste to the coconut water, which can sometimes be a little bland on its own. Since it also has a lower ABV than some other spirits, Malibu also gives the cocktail a smoother taste.

We like our drinks sweet, but everyone’s different. Simply adjust the amount of simple syrup in the recipe to your taste. If it’s too sweet, don’t worry, you can just add a little more lime since the acidity will balance out the sweetness and add some more tangy flavor.

Definitely! In fact, we prefer it. But if you’re using store-bought variety, just remember to check the label for added sugars, since they can vary from brand to brand, and you may need to adjust the amount of sugar syrup in the recipe to compensate.

Nope! It’s easy to mix up, coconut water is the clear liquid inside of a coconut when it’s opened, and coconut milk is made from the ‘meat’ of the coconut.

Of course! Malibu has a relatively low ABV, so for a stronger drink, we suggest reducing the quantity of Malibu Original by half and substituting the other half with your favorite white rum.

Absolutely! Simply replace the Malibu Original with more coconut water and a bit more simple syrup for a delicious summer mocktail.

Cucumber slices and more cucumber slices. Both in the drink and on top of the glass. You can also add a lime wedge on top and if you’re feeling even more adventurous, try adding a sprig of mint for an added aroma.

Yes, this cocktail is perfect for scaling up and being made in large batches. Mix the ingredients in a pitcher or punch bowl, and keep it chilled until ready to serve. Add ice and cucumbers just before serving.
