Malibu Paloma

Making a Malibu Paloma is simple! We recommend starting by rimming your glass with salt for a savory touch. Then, combine the Malibu, pink grapefruit juice, lime juice, and garnish with a grapefruit wedge. Our tip is to use fresh juices for the best flavor.

Sure! While you can use bottled grapefruit juice, we suggest opting for fresh juice whenever possible. Freshly squeezed grapefruit juice has a vibrant flavor that elevates the drink. If you do use bottled juice, look for one that is 100% natural with no added sugars or preservatives.

We recommend serving this drink in a tall, highball glass. These glasses not only showcase the beautiful color of the cocktail but also provide lots of space for the soda water to add its fizz. Plus, they leave plenty of room for ice and garnishes. That said, any fun glass you have in your kitchen works just as well.

Absolutely! To make a non-alcoholic version, simply replace the Malibu with coconut water or a coconut-flavored soda. We love how this version still captures the tropical essence of the original, making it a great alcohol-free option.

Rimming your glass with salt is easy! We suggest running a lime wedge around the rim of your glass, then dipping it into a plate of coarse salt. Our tip is to use sea salt or even pink salt for a more fun rim.

For a less sweet cocktail, we recommend adding a splash of more lime juice, this will help balance out taste. If you want a sweeter drink, our tip is adding a small amount of simple syrup to the mix.

For sure! We suggest experimenting with different flavors like lime or lemon-lime soda. Our tip is to choose a flavor that enhances the existing ingredients without overpowering them.

A grapefruit wedge is a classic garnish for this drink. We also love adding a sprig of mint or a twist of lime peel for extra flair. Our recommendation is to keep it simple and let the vibrant colors of the drink shine.

Totally! To make a batch, we recommend multiplying the recipe by the number of servings you need and mixing everything in a large pitcher. Wait to add the soda water until just before serving to maintain its fizz.

Use leftover grapefruit soda to make a fizzy punch or as a mixer for other cocktails. It’s a versatile ingredient that adds sparkle to any drink. Extra lime juice is perfect for adding a zesty kick to guacamole or using in homemade limeade for a delish treat. Whereas Malibu rum can be enjoyed on its own or used in other tropical cocktails like Piña Coladas or Malibu Mojitos for a taste of the tropics.
