The sunshine story of Malibu started in 1978, when it was still called Coco Rico. In 1980, Malibu was launched, and people were amazed by its rich, unique flavor. So, it’s no surprise that in no time at all Malibu earned a reputation as a fun, fresh drink that makes every day feel like summer. 

Over 40 years later, Malibu is one of the world’s leading flavored spirits brands, and a staple in iconic cocktails like the Piña Colada and the Daquiri. 

For many years, the white rum used in Malibu was produced at a distillery on a beach in Barbados. Today, Malibu is mostly blended and produced in Canada. We also do some of the production in the US and Spain. 

The coconuts that give Malibu Original its distinct flavor are partly sourced from farming communities in the Philippines. We work closely with these communities to boost sustainable farming techniques and practices, securing the future of Malibu – and the future of summer itself.

Summer, paradise, heaven – fresh-tasting, light coconut flavor comes together with white rum, creating a smooth flavor that’s ready to mix with anything you like!

Store your Malibu upright, at room temperature (50°–75°F), away from direct sunlight. 

The recommended shelf life for Malibu Original and Malibu Flavors is two years. This guarantees the most refreshing taste and experience. While the product can still be safely consumed after two years, the flavors will begin to fade, and you won’t get the excellent Malibu quality you’d expect. 

For Malibu Ready-to-Drinks (RTDs), the recommended shelf life is one year.
