Tools you’ll need

Shaker
You’ll need a cocktail shaker for mixing and chilling the ingredients to perfection. If you don’t have a professional one, we recommend a mason jar, thermos, or any jar with a tight-fitting lid.

Strainer
This is for straining the drink into the glass for a smooth and creamy texture. In case you’re missing one, we suggest using a kitchen mesh sieve instead or even the lid of your jar to keep any ice shards out of your drink.

Jigger or Measuring Spoon
This is for measuring the ingredients in your cocktail recipe accurately. You can use any measuring tool in your kitchen or even a 30 ml / 1 oz shot glass too.

Hurricane Glass
To us, this is the ideal glass for serving the Pink Colada, showcasing its vibrant pink color and tropical flavors. That said, any fun glass you have in your cupboards will do the trick.

Our top tips for creating the perfect Malibu Pink Colada

1. Use fresh pineapple juice

We recommend using fresh juice for the best flavor. It adds a bright and tropical note that complements the creamy elements beautifully. If you’re using store-bought, make sure to check the sugar content as they can vary.

2. Chill your glass

Our pro tip is to chill the glass for about 10 mins in the freezer before serving. This not only makes for a professional-looking cocktail, it also helps keep the cocktail cool and undiluted from the first sip to the last.

3. Shake hard

We recommend shaking your ingredients well in the shaker for about 10-15 seconds to make sure all the flavors mix well and the drink chills perfectly.

4. Try a cherry garnish

Along with the pineapple wedge, we love adding a maraschino cherry for a sweet finish. It adds a pop of color and pairs wonderfully with the tropical flavors of this cocktail.

5. Adjust the sweetness

If your cocktail is too sweet, add a little bit more lime juice. The acidity will balance out the sweetness.
